Despite netting the first goal in its match against Harvard, the Columbia men’s soccer team was unable to bring in a second tally in overtime play to claim victory against the league leader. The dynamic offense that had posted several close shots in the first half fell apart in the second, creating only one scoring opportunity for the rest of the game. Miscommunication between the offensive players ultimately cost the Lions the match, but the inability to capitalize on opportunities has been a persistent problem for the men’s soccer team.

Rather than steadily generating goals, the Lions’ offense has been explosive in some games and nonexistent in others. Columbia’s sporadic production has turned the team from an Ivy League championship contender into a middle-of-the-pack squad.
