DU Men’s Soccer entered the Summit League Tournament defending well but struggling to score goals. Denver failed to score more than two goals in a match the entire season. It looked like a repeat on Sunday when DU trailed #4 seed Oral Roberts 1-0 on a late first-half goal by the Golden Eagles’ Jeff Mesidor (penalty kick). The scoreless drought carried over 16 minutes into the second half as the playoff crowd implored the Pioneers to push forward more aggressively. Denver started to play on the Golden Eagles’ side of the field. Bryce Willoughby delivered a goal on a corner kick from Trevor Wright, 1-1. A minute and a half later, a running Keegan Kelly directed a header into the cage, 2-1, DU. Denver started to play out of the back and isolate the ORU defenders. Keegan Kelly struck again, twenty minutes after his first goal, on a target from distance, 3-1. Two minutes later, Kelly made it a three-goal barrage with a close-in tally, 4-1.

Bergstraser Secures First Div. I win as DU Defeats Montana State 75-73
It was only fitting that DU star guard Carson Johnson, a Minnesota State Moorehead transfer, nailed the winning shot with 1.8 seconds remaining to give new DU head coach Tim Bergstraser his first win, a 75-73 thriller over the Montana State Bobcats in Bozeman, Mont. It was a battle that went down to the wire — in fact, the final minute-and-a-half — for DU to take a two-point lead on a Carson Johnson make from downtown. Montana came back to knot the score. The game-winner by Johnson was a turn-around floater in the paint and the Bobcats were unable to score in the limited remaining time. Continue reading Bergstraser Secures First Div. I win as DU Defeats Montana State 75-73
