In a tense Region 8 showdown, Miami Dade battled toe-to-toe with unbeaten Eastern Florida State College before ultimately falling 1–0 on a heartbreaking goal in the closing minutes Wednesday night.
Both sides played with intensity from the opening whistle, but it was the Sharks' back line and goalkeeper Samuel Cavo who shined under constant pressure. Cavo delivered a standout performance, recording 10 saves against 11 shots on goal to keep Miami Dade in contention until the very end.
The game's only score came in the 88th minute, when Eastern Florida's Lars Bekman broke through with a decisive strike to seal the Titans' narrow victory. Miami Dade managed just three shots, two on frame from Nicolo Liburdi and Eduardo Cornejo, but could not find the equalizer.
Miami Dade (2-7-2, 0-1-0) now looks to regroup as they continue Region 8 play, while Eastern Florida (7-0-0, 1-0-0) remains unbeaten on the season.
