Univ. of Mobile Men's Soccer loses to Berry College 2-1

MOBILE, Ala. -- The University of Mobile (12-5-1) will have to await an announcement on Monday from the NAIA National Office to see whether or not they will receive an at-large bid to the national tournament after losing to Berry College 2-1 on Wednesday afternoon in a Region XIII Tournament Semifinal game at home in The Jungle.

A defensive game throughout, Mobile finally broke through in the 82nd minute when Alex Sesto finished off a pass from Andreas Rota to put the Rams ahead 1-0.

However, their lead would quickly evaporate. Just two minutes after Mobile had taken the lead, Berry College would respond when Sebastian Herting drilled a shot into the upper right corner of the goal from about 30 yards out to tie the game at 1-1.

After a scoreless firt period of sudden death overtime, Daniel Ullrich's goal four minutes into the second overtime gave Berry College the 2-1 victory propelling the Vikings into the Region XIII championship match on Saturday.
