Kyle Hall's double shuts Out Fordham
suathletics.comJunior forward
Kyle Hall (Toronto, Ontario) tied his career high with two goals and sophomore Hansen Woodruff (Stuart, Fla.) added his team-leading fourth goal of the year to power the Orange men’s soccer team to a 3-0 shutout of Fordham (1-4-0) in its home opener on Sunday, Sept. 16. The victory extends Syracuse’s unbeaten streak to seven games dating back last season, the longest such streak under head coach Dean Foti. The Orange (3-0-3) used an early second-half surge to put the game out of reach. Already ahead, 1-0, Woodruff found Hall’s feet with a pass to the right side of the box, and Hall launched a low drive to the lower left corner of the net past Fordham keeper Dan Hajducky 4:05 into the second period. Less than two minutes later, Woodruff finished off a pass from sophomore Tom Perevegyencev (Budapest, Hungary) to seal the victory at the 50:34 mark. “We talk about scoring goals at critical times,” Foti said after the match. “Two of those times are at the start of the game and at the start of the second half. By getting goals when we did, I think we put them (Fordham) back on their heels.”
SU’s three goals were more than enough for its defense, which held the Rams’ leading scorer Dean Stanic to one shot in the contest. Fordham generated one good scoring chance early in the game. The rest of the Rams’ 10 shots were no trouble for SU junior goalkeeper Robert Cavicchia (North York, Ontario), who finished with six saves. Cavicchia’s six stops elevated him into a tie with Mike Westcott for seventh on the Orange’s career saves list (174). It was also Cavicchia’s 11th career shutout, moving him into a tie with Josh McGibbon for seventh on that career ledger. Sunday’s match was the second-career, multi-goal game for Hall, who had the Orange’s first goal against the Rams in the 17th minute. Hall also scored twice against Loyola in 2006. Woodruff finished the game with three points (1g, 1a) and his goal increased his career total to 11. He is SU’s active leading goal scorer. Hajducky fell to 0-3-0 on the season with the loss. He made three saves in the contest for the Rams before being replaced by Jon Bratincevic in the 66th minute. Two Orange players had career firsts in Sunday’s win. Redshirt freshman Geoff Lytle (Miami Beach, Fla.) saw the first action of his collegiate career. Lytle replaced Woodruff midway through the second half and played the remainder of the match. Perevegyencev’s assist on SU’s final score was the first of his career. Syracuse continues its homestand on Friday, Sept. 21. The Orange hosts Pittsburgh in its BIG EAST opener at 7:00 p.m.
Sandy's Late Goal Not Enough for Falcon Victory
bgsufalcons.cstv.comAfter trailing 1-0 for a small portion of Sunday afternoon's match, senior
Abiola Sandy sunk the equalizing goal in the 76th minute for Bowling Green State University (2-3-1), but the Falcons were unable to overcome visiting Canisius College (1-3-0) in the final match of the 2007 Falcon Invitational. Canisius' Alan McGreal scored his second goal of the afternoon in the 96th minute, earning the Griffins Sunday's sudden death overtime victory, 2-1.
"College soccer games are played in moments, unfortunately we lost a moment of the match and it resulted in the loss of the match," said head coach Fred Thompson. "This was a great game because it was competitive from the start. To their credit, Canisius did a good job defending, they moved the ball well and had very dangerous players on the field." Entering the match, if the Falcons were to win this weekend's tournament, not only would they need to beat Canisius, the squad would need to pound in at least five goals to match Detroit's 6-1 two-match goal differentiation. It seemed as if BGSU was on their way to chipping away at the lofty Detroit advantage when Ryan Davis converted his own rebound giving the Falcons a 1-0 lead for just a split second. The goal was immediately negated as a result of Davis' offside positioning on Chuko Evwaraye's initial serve into the middle which created the scoring chance. At the conclusion of the first period, each team remained scoreless despite creating numerous scoring chances. Bowling Green went on to outshoot Canisius 21-11 and forced Adam Cately to make five saves in goal. Canisius claimed its first lead at 67:56 when McGreal challenged goalkeeper Paul Shoemaker out of his defensive comfort zone on a breakaway scoring the first Griffins goal of the tournament. The lead was short lived due to Sandy and fellow senior Ryan Perea's execution of a successful give-and-go which evened the score at 1-1 (76:00) with 14:00 still remaining in regulation. The dogfight was then forced to continue into an overtime period.
Bowling Green saw multiple chances to end the sudden death period but it was McGreal's golden goal at 96:31 that propelled Canisius to their first win of the season. The late scoring surge was not unusual for the visiting squad seeing as each of their prior goals this season had been scored in the final 10:00 of regulation play. "For the most part, we moved well and had wonderful possessions that created scoring opportunities. From the sheer numbers of chances we are finding, we need to finish and put the ball in the net," said Thompson. With a perfect 2-0 record, Detroit was crowned champions of the tournament, while Canisius was named the runner-up due to today's head-to-head. BGSU and the University of Central Arkansas followed suit in third and fourth, respectively. "Congratulations to Detroit for the wins this weekend," said Thompson. "They played well and were able to eek out the overtime victory earlier today." Detroit's Christian King was named the tournament MVP with Renato Susnja, Mateusz Szwed, Simon Zahra and Ken Simon earning All-Tournament honors. Canisius' McGreal, Simba Aberdeen and Adam Cately represented the Griffins on the All-Tournament squad, while BGSU's Abiola Sandy and Paul Shoemaker and UCA's Matt Marlin were also recognized. "I am proud of the way both Paul and Abby played this weekend," said Thompson. "Paul was responsible for a few big saves to keep us in games and Abby's partnership with Hunter [Van Houten] in the midfield was outstanding seeing as it is a new position for him." In 206:31, Shoemaker made eight saves and posted a .800 save percentage with a shutout while Sandy translated four shots on goal into two points (2g). The Falcons will next host in-state foe Ohio State on Thursday (Sept. 27) afternoon at 4:00 p.m.

bceagles.cstv.comSenior forward
Sherron Manswell scored both Boston College goals to lead the Eagles to a 2-0 ACC victory over seventh-ranked Maryland at the Newton Campus Soccer Field.
The game marked the conference opener for both teams. The game also capped a day that featured three Boston College-Maryland contests. BC defeated the Terrapins, 3-2, in volleyball, while the Maryland field hockey team downed BC, 2-0. All three games were hosted by Boston College. Maryland controlled play in the early part of the match, but BC capitalized on its chance at 25:03. Manswell split two Terrapin defenders and beat freshman goalkeeper Thorne Holder. Junior Paul Gerstenberger assisted on the score. Just more than three minutes later -- at 28:41 -- Manswell doubled the BC margin. Junior Alejandro Bedoya dribbled down the right side and fed the ball to freshman Shawn Chin in front of him. Chin delivered a cross into the box where Manswell collected the ball and beat the Maryland keeper to the left side. The goal was the senior striker's third of the season. BC was outshot 5-3 in the first half, but settled down late in the half and more than held its own in the second half. Maryland finished with a 9-7 shot edge. Junior goalkeeper Chris Brown earned his third win of the season, making two stops. Brown's goals against average now stands at 0.50. Holder made one second-half save for the Terps. Boston College returns to action on Tuesday, Sept. 18 against Maine. The non-league match will start at 4 p.m. on the Newton Campus Soccer Field.

saintleolions.athleticsite.comThe Saint Leo University men’s soccer team (2-2-2, 0-1 SSC) was edged 3-2 by No. 9 Nova Southeastern University (7-0, 1-0 SSC) in both teams’ Sunshine State Conference opener on Saturday night at the NSU Soccer Complex in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. Saint Leo freshman striker
Jonathan Glenn (Maloney Gardens, Trinidad & Tobago) scored twice for the Lions, but NSU striker Ally Hassan scored his second goal of the match in the 97th minute to give the Sharks the win.
The Lions opened the scoring in the match in the 23rd minute, as Glenn took a looping ball from Eusebio Montoya (Jr., Smithfield, N.C.) and slotted beyond the reach of NSU goalkeeper Jarod Rennick for his second goal of the season. Saint Leo led 1-0 at the half, as Rennick made several saves and one Lion effort was cleared off the line. NSU pulled even in the 70th minute when a shot from midfielder Craig Heenighan was spilled by Saint Leo ‘keeper Sam Luedke (Sr., Deltona, Fla.) and Hassan pounced for his first goal of the evening. In the 87th minute, the Sharks earned their first lead of the match when a driving run from midfielder Romain Onteniente eventually led to a strike that found the back of the net for a 2-1 NSU lead. The lead did not last long, as just 29 secondslater, the Lions equalized with Glenn firing a shot beyond the reach of Rennick. In extra time, Hassan took a pass from defender Chris Sarabia and hit a curling effort that settled in the right corner for the game winner.

Cortland Opens SUNYAC Schedule With 4-0 Win vs. New Paltz
cortland.eduJunior Ayinde George (Arima, Trinidad/San Juan) recorded a goal and an assist as Cortland opened SUNYAC play with a 4-0 shutout over visiting New Paltz. The Red Dragons are 4-1 overall and 1-0 in the league, while the Hawks drop to 0-6 and 0-1. Sophomore David Jacques (Warwick/Don Bosco Prep), junior Adam Jurcic (Guelph, ON/Our Lady of Lourdes) and junior Kyle Stepanovsky (Endicott/Union-Endicott) also scored goals for the Red Dragons. Junior Jack Carillo (Cornwall/Ramapo) made three saves over 79 minutes and junior Greg Arnold (Fulton/G. Ray Bodley) did not make any saves over the final 11 minutes as they combined for the shutout.
George scored his first goal as a Red Dragon when he one-timed a shot from 15 yards out with 11:20 left in the first half. Freshman Corey DeVille (Buffalo/Kenmore West) initiated the scoring chance with a deep service that senior Sean Malone (Tully) headed to George for the shot. Both DeVille and Malone earned assists on the play. Jacques netted his fourth goal of the season just over four minutes later when he took a pass from George and hit a shot from the middle of the box that found its way inside the right post.

September 14, 2007Sandy's Late Goal Lifts Falcons
bgsufalcons.cstv.comAbiola Sandy's goal in the 109th minute pushed the Bowling Green State University Falcons to a 1-0 win over the visiting University of Central Arkansas Bears in game two of the 2007 Falcon Invitational on Friday afternoon at Mickey Cochrane Stadium. With the win, BGSU improves to 2-2-1 on the year, while UCA drops to 2-3-0.
The extra-minute thriller was the third consecutive home opening match which has been forced into double overtime dating back to 2005. Head coach Fred Thompson's Falcons have now beat then-nationally ranked Ohio State (3-2, 2OT), Western Illinois (2-1, 2OT) and now the University of Central Arkansas (1-0, 2OT) as they usher in the home portion of their schedule. "It is good to be home after four tough road games," said Thompson. "And while I am not a proponent for these double overtime games, I will gladly go to triple or quadruple overtime to start the season this well at home. "The team is determined to start this weekend right, and I believe we are half way there." Today's game-winner, a three-on-two break away goal with less than a minute remaining, was Sandy's second as a Falcon. His first came in regulation play against Cleveland State on Oct. 26, 2005 during his sophomore campaign. In fact, his three goals in 2005 were his latest before today's netter. Last season, Sandy fired just seven shots in his 12 games played. "Coming-off of last weekend [two road loses] this was a big win for us. It has lifted our spirits and will make Sunday fun," said Sandy, the senior man of the hour. "Some of the freshmen are now getting used to our style of play in the collegiate game and are understanding the meaning of intense. It's easy to say I have seen the freshman mature from this game." The fateful goal was scored with 49 seconds remaining in the match as freshman Matt Klancic received a pass at midfield after the Falcon defense cut UCA's attack possession short in the backfield. Sandy, the lead trailer, passed Klancic on a sprint as the two were joined by third Orange and White jersey outnumbering the UCA defense three-to-two. Klancic found Sandy on the right wing and delivered control of the ball and ultimately the game. The senior then split the UCA defensive challengers, fired his shot on the run and the outcome is now history.
"I was really tired at that point, but what can I say, we won," said Sandy. Thompson noted Sandy's athleticism in the play as his sprint was nearly an 80-yard dash. The Orange and Brown's defense held the Bears to three shots in the first period and allowed an additional three throughout the remainder of the match. Keeper Paul Shoemaker made three saves in the win. The shutout is the second of the Falcon's 2007 season and the third of Shoemaker's BGSU career in goal. The match also doubles as the first home shutout since the 1-0 win over Kentucky (Nov. 9) in the second round of the 2003 Mid-American Conference Tournament. Bowling Green will return to action on Sunday afternoon as they repeat today's 2:30 p.m. start to square-off against the Griffins of Canisius College in the final game of the tournament. Canisius dropped their first match of the tournament as they were defeated by the University of Detroit Mercy, 4-0 in game one earlier in the afternoon.

The College of Charleston finally broke the ice in the 65th minute, on Yearwood’s fifth goal of the season.
