Ryssdalsnes Scores Twice in Loss vs. LIU
9/16/2025 8:14:00 PM | Men's Soccer
Sophomore Sivert Ryssdalsnes netted both Quinnipiac goals for the day.
Ryssdalsnes scored the game's first goal just 1:34 into action. He buried a penalty kick after being fouled inside the box just moments into the contest.
LIU then scored three straight times to take the lead, finding the back of the net at 2:18, 10:33, and 16:12.
Ryssdalsnes would score again for the Bobcats, though, helping pull QU back within one goal. Sixten Karlsson and Benjamin Telle both earned an assist on the score – which Ryssdalsnes blasted into the lower left corner with his right foot.
The Sharks responded with a goal just before the end of a frantic first half (41:05), then LIU netted another goal in the 80th minute.✌ goals in the first half for Sivert! pic.twitter.com/FxF6mIhDUv
