CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – James Madison men's soccer fell to No. 1 Virginia 1-0 on Tuesday night at Klockner Stadium. The Dukes fell to 9-4-1 on the season, while UVA improved to 11-0-1. The 78th minute goal was the first goal allowed by the Dukes against a ranked team this season.
The Dukes and Cavaliers were scoreless heading to half, after a barrage of shots by JMU could not find the back of the net. Both keepers made two stops in the first half and the Cavaliers held the advantage in corners 4-3.
In the second half JMU tallied chances early and often to control the pace of play. Lewis Long IV had the chance of the night for the Dukes, stealing a pass and beating the UVA defense. The Cavaliers keeper made the save to keep the match level early in the half. In the 78th minute Irakoza Donaisyano scored on a shot from 35 yards out to beat TJ Bush.
