"I was in line for the save, but at the last second the ball took a high bounce and skipped over my hands," Meagher said.
Despite the goal and the overwhelming swing in momentum, the Crimson had a prime scoring chance only minutes later.
After some good work on the left wing, sophomore Nick Lenicheck served a ball into Petruccelli, who stood only twelve yards out, but the senior could not get a good shot off.
"Hench went up to head the ball, and I thought he was going to get it," Petruccelli said. "When it kept coming I tried to put a touch on it, but my trap went too far and I couldn't get the shot I wanted."
The missed chance to equalize was costly, as the Bulldogs struck again on a set play in the 65th minute.
After a couple of quick touches from the set position, Suzuki received a short lateral pass at the top of the box. After pulling the ball across his body to his right foot, the captain put a floating ball high and to the left of Meagher.
Beaten, Meagher stood frozen on his line.
