 The NOVA men’s soccer team’s chances for a winning season rested on the results of its final game against the Stevenson University JV team in a match on Oct. 23 near Baltimore. NOVA had beaten Stevenson about a month earlier in a close game, 2-1, in Woodbridge.

This game was even closer as neither team scored in regulation time. NOVA kept up its strong effort in overtime but finally succumbed 1-0 as it ended its season with a 4-5 record.

In earlier games, NOVA played a Randolph College team in Lynchburg on Oct. 9, but fell 2-1. Later, on Oct. 21, NOVA journeyed to Lord Fairfax Community College and defeated the Cannons 3-1 to sweep the two games between the teams. The win evened the NOVA record at 4-4 before its final game.
