MEN'S SOCCER | Comeback Secures Hoyas a Draw in Season Opener

No. 5 Georgetown opened its men’s soccer season on Aug. 20 at Shaw Field by tying the unranked University of North Carolina (UNC) Tar Heels 1-1. Georgetown conceded the goal early, falling behind 1-0 within the first eight minutes, but responded strongly in the second half. The Hoyas scored in the 61st minute when David Urrutia threaded a pass to Mateo Ponce Ocampo, who set up Mitchell Baker with a behind-the-back no-look flick. Georgetown hit two crossbars and had two penalty appeal claims denied during the match. UNC previously beat Georgetown 5-1 in 1953 and won on penalty kicks 5-4 in the 2010 NCAA tournament.
