After trailing at halftime, UChicago came roaring back, scoring all three of its goals in a span of 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The Golden Gusties found the back of the net first on a corner kick that was headed into the goal. Taking an early 1-0 lead 30 minutes into the game, Gustavus Adolphus sent the Maroons into halftime trailing despite UChicago holding an 8-4 advantage in shots.<\/p>\n<p>The second period opened with Gustavus Adolphus maintaining control of the ball. Just as its momentum was building off a shot attempt by Hoch, the Maroons found their footing and never looked back.<\/p>\n<p>With less than 30 minutes left to play, <a href=\"https:\/\/athletics.uchicago.edu\/sports\/mens-soccer\/roster\/vaughn-derath\/10730\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"10730\" target=\"_blank\">Vaughn DeRath<\/a> played a give-and-go to <a href=\"https:\/\/athletics.uchicago.edu\/sports\/mens-soccer\/roster\/evan-kanellos\/10735\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"10735\" target=\"_blank\">Evan Kanellos<\/a> down the right side of the field.

With the score even at 1-1, UChicago knew it needed to capitalize on the energy boost.<\/p>\n<p>Just five minutes later, Kanellos scored the go-ahead goal off a penalty kick following a successful VAR challenge by the Maroons. UChicago was awarded the penalty after challenging a no-call on a handball in the box.<\/p>\n<p>The Maroons&#8217; scoring tirade wasn&#8217;t over yet. With less than 15 minutes to play, UChicago found the back of the net for the third time. Stealing possession on a Golden Gusties throw-in, <a href=\"https:\/\/athletics.uchicago.edu\/sports\/mens-soccer\/roster\/preston-samtani\/10750\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"10750\" target=\"_blank\">Preston Samtani<\/a> dribbled 30 yards up the middle before finding <a href=\"https:\/\/athletics.uchicago.edu\/sports\/mens-soccer\/roster\/chase-perry\/10739\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"10739\" target=\"_blank\">Chase Perry<\/a> running down the left side.
