FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – The Nova Southeastern University men's soccer team dropped a home match on Wednesday night to Barry, 3-0 at the NSU Soccer Complex.
 
The Sharks (5-8-0, 1-6-0 SSC) put their first shot in the ledger 10 minutes in, when Viktor Jonsson (Jr., Reykjavik, Iceland) found some spacing, but his dart was just wide. Barry (7-3-2, 2-3-1 SSC) made good on their second opportunity after an earlier shot was blocked, with Manuel Perez receiving a cross from Patrick Drmola, beating Taylor Bailey (Fr., Greeneville, Tenn.) to his left.
 
On that play, there was contact between Perez and Bailey, who would leave less than five minutes later. Jo Jien Lee (Jr., Kuala Lampur, Malaysia) would post three saves in relief to close out the first half, along with a team save, to keep the score in favor of the visitors by just one.
 
The Sharks' next best chance at goal, and the only save of the first half by Bucs' keeper Bo Haug, came with mere seconds left, when substitute Jacob Sumaljag (Fr., North Port, Fla.) had a bead on his defenders and fired one towards goal, but Haug came away with it.
 
Barry added cushion a little over 15 minutes into the second half, as Sergio Yepes knocked one down all alone in the box and pushed it past Lee left side. The Sharks nearly halved the deficit at 66:22, but Haug again collected a save, this one off an attempt by Caue Munareti Rodrigues (Jr., Sao Paulo, Brazil).
 
Later, down a man, Yepes again tallied a score for the Bucs, on a tidy two-touch from Frank Lustig to Thomas Coombes to Yepes. The header pushed the visitors' lead to 3-0. Only 14 seconds later, Filippo Mancini (So., Genova, Italy) put one on goal, but Haug got his third and final save to preserve the shutout.
 
The Bucs notched 16 shots to the Sharks' nine. Lee added another save in the second half, playing nearly 71 minutes in goal for a season high.
 
NSU will be back at home on Saturday evening, hosting Eckerd at 7 p.m.
