Saint Louis led for 13 minutes and lost the match in the last one.

Fordham scored twice in the final 18 minutes Wednesday night, rallying past the Billikens 2-1 in Atlantic 10 men’s soccer at Moglia Stadium at Jack Coffey Field. Saint Louis had taken the lead in the second half. Fordham answered, then stole it late.

The loss drops the Billikens to 4-4-3 overall and 2-1-1 in A10 play. Fordham improves to 5-4-2 and 3-0-1 in conference action.

The first half produced nothing on the scoreboard. Saint Louis broke through in the 60th minute when Axel Torres collected a pass from Andrew Heckenlaible and scored the first goal of his career, putting the Billikens up 1-0.

Fordham leveled it in the 73rd minute. Elias Betancourt finished off an assist from Marc-Alexandre Happi Emaga to make it 1-1.

The Rams took the lead with a minute left in regulation. Betancourt scored his second of the night at the 89:00 mark off a long throw-in, giving Fordham a 2-1 win.

Saint Louis outshot Fordham 7-4 and put four shots on goal. Fordham scored on both of its shots on frame. The Billikens earned five corner kicks to nine for the Rams.

The Billikens stay on the road Saturday at La Salle. Kickoff is 6 p.m. CT.
