Davidson, NC – Vanderbilt freshman forward Jerry Yirenki scored two goals, but it wasn’t enough as #7 UNC-Greensboro came from behind to defeat the Commodores 5-4 in overtime in the second game of the Davidson adidas Classic.
The Commodores led 4-3 and were 36 seconds away from the upset win when Pat Farrell scored from 18-yards out to tie the score at 4-4. Randi Patterson’s header from the middle of the box gave UNC-Greensboro the win at the 92:56 mark keeping the Spartans undefeated with a 4-0 record. Vanderbilt is now 1-3 on the season.
Freshman Joe Germanese put the Commodores on the board just under five minutes into the game when he dribbled through a crowd and scored from 10-yards out. UNC-Greensboro’s James Goodman then scored two unanswered goals before Yirenkyi tied the game at the 37:59 mark on a cross from sophomore Josh Medcalf.
Yirenki opened the scoring in the second half on a pass from Germanese to give VU a 3-2 lead. Farrell scored his first goal of the game off a direct kick from the left side to tie the game at 3-3. Junior John Krause gave the Commodores a 4-3 lead when he took a Jamie Gilbert pass and scored on a header over the goalkeeper at the 79:08 mark.
