Spartanburg, S.C. - Furman struck for three goals, including two in the opening 35 minutes, to down Wofford 3-2 in men's soccer action Saturday night at Snyder Field in Spartanburg, S.C.
The Paladins scored the game's first goal when Jon Rydarowski headed home a Rhett Abraham corner kick at the 8:53 mark. Freshman Eliot Paschalis connected on a pass from fellow freshman Richard Jata at 32:51 to give Furman another tally before the teams headed into the locker room at halftime.
Wofford tightened its defense early in the second half before surrendering another Paladin strike at 76:41 when Sean Murray found Shea Salinas.
With just over six minutes remaining, at 83:54, the Terriers set up for a corner kick of their own. Mittmann served the ball to the near post where a diving Lowery headed the ball over Furman goalkeeper John Hanley for his second career goal.
