LANGHORNE, PA - The Goucher Men's Soccer team (0-0-1) traveled to face the Cairn University Highlanders (0-0-1) in their 2025 season opener.

First-year Joel Lukoo scored his first collegiate goal almost 30 minutes into the half, giving the Gophers the lead at the whistle.
An early foul in the second half for the Gophers gave the Higherlanders a penalty kick, which they capitalized on to tie the contest 1-1 with just over thirty minutes left. Despite the seven shots among both teams in the second half, neither could break the tie.
