TAMPA, Fla. – The Barry University men's soccer ended their 2016 season Tuesday night, in a 1-0 loss to Tampa in the quarterfinal round of the SSS Men's Soccer Tournament.
The Buccaneers (10-6-0, 4-5-0 SSC) and Spartans (10-4-2, 4-4-1 SSC) battled to a scoreless first half. Both teams made six shot attempts with one of those shots put on goal.
Tampa broke the silence with a 69th minute goal from Jason Collister. Collister received the ball from Troy Tucker, and netted the ball from just outside the left corner of the box, to take 1-0 lead. The Spartans goal was all it took to come away with the victory.
