Jack Scott tallied his first goal of the season to even the match late, but the American University men's soccer team allowed an overtime score and fell 2-1 at Syracuse Sunday afternoon.

Nick Roydhouse gave Syracuse (2-2-0) the win with his game-winner in the 94th minute of play. It came off a free kick from outside the goalbox as AU fell for its second straight match in extra time following Friday's 2OT defeat to Liberty.

The Orange took a quick 1-0 lead in the match on Louis Clark's sixth minute goal, forcing American (1-4-1) to play from behind the majority of the match. With less than seven minutes remaining in regulation, Scott gave the Eagles the equalizer with his seven-career goal and sent the match to overtime.

In the match, Syracuse outshot AU by a 23-8 margin, although the Orange only held a slight 8-7 advantage in shots on goal. Scott and Colin Seigfreid led American with two shots apiece.

AU will be back in action this weekend for a pair of non-conference home matches. The Eagles will first host Cal State Fullerton on Friday, September 16 at 1 p.m. before welcoming Central Florida to Reeves Field on Sunday, September 18 at 4 p.m. Both matches will be available live on Eagles Vision TV.
