Harvey to try for his 800th win Tuesday at home

OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahoma City University began its men's soccer season with a defeat, losing 2-0 to Concordia (Neb.) on Saturday afternoon in the first ever match played at Brian Harvey Field.
Moises Jacobo sealed the Stars' fate with a tap-in goal in the 76th minute to give the Bulldogs a 2-0 lead.
OCU coach Brian Harvey's combined men's and women's record sits at 799-324-68 in his 34th year. He has compiled a 429-203-41 in men's soccer and a 370-121-27 mark in women's soccer. The Stars will attempt to give Harvey career victory No. 800 in the women's home opener 5 p.m. Tuesday against Bethany (Kan.) at Brian Harvey Field. The Oklahoma City men's team (0-1) will follow at 7 p.m. in the Tuesday night doubleheader.
At the 75:29 mark, Matthew Ho sent a ball to the corner where Joao Pedro Verissimo collected and sliced a cross through the Oklahoma City defense, and Jacobo did the rest.
The game-winning goal came in the 53rd minute after a scoreless first-half battle. Verissimo's smooth ball to the feet of Renzo Bosso resulted in a close shot that found the back of the net.
