bgsufalcons.collegesports.comSenior
Abiola Sandy converted a penalty kick while classmate Alec Perea chipped in the tying goal as the Falcons took the visiting Hartwick Hawks to a suspenseful double-overtime 2-2 tie in the Mid-American Conference home opener at Mickey Cochrane Stadium. The Falcons move to 3-7-3 (0-1-0 MAC) on the season while the Hawks are now 3-4-3 (0-1-1 MAC). "We were down a goal on two separate occasions and fought back to tie the game twice," said head coach Fred Thompson. "This type of plays shows the heart we are developing as we grow as a team. "Hartwick is a very industrious team. I have to give them credit for the constant energy they bring to the table because it almost cost us the game today." The Hawks recorded their first score when John Paul Boyle intercepted Cameron Hepple's pass in Hartwick's territory mid-way through the first half of play . Once possession was ensured, Boyle challenged the Falcons' charging goal keeper, Paul Shoemaker, and helped the Hawks to their first lead of the game at 23:47. Soon there after, Hartwick appeared as if their lead would be extended via a fast paced attack at Shoemaker, but Thomas McLean quickly ended such hopes as he slid into and blocked a shot on goal sending it out of play and re-setting the pace of play. Hartwick took the single-goal lead into halftime but the Falcon's needed only three minutes of the second period to execute their first rally of the match. An infraction by the Hartwick defense against Matt Klancic allotted the Falcons their second penalty kick of the season which was once again successfully taken by Sandy.
Bowling Green found themselves once again behind a goal six minutes later as the Hawks used a corner kick to their advantage by finding the smallest line of space to split members of the Falcons defense. Hartwick was up 2-1 with nearly 37-minutes remaining in regulation. Bowling Green charged back for the second time at 61:05 when senior Ryan Perea received Shoemaker's goal kick near the midfield line and took matters into his own hands (and feet). Perea beat out a pair of Hartwick's defenders who were attempting to sandwich the senior in a smothering defensive effort. Once past that obstacle, Perea chipped a shot over the Hawks' keeper and netted his first goal of the season and the last of the game. With the goal, Shoemaker picked up his first assist with the Falcons. With the score tied at two-all, Boyle tried to win a two-on-one battle against the Falcons by narrowly out maneuvering Sandy and then set his sights on a game of cat and mouse with Shoemaker. By correctly timing Boyle's dispossession of the ball, Shoemaker won the second-half of the one-on-one and kept the Falcons within striking distance of the win. "Boyle is a quick player who can give a defense trouble," said Thompson. "As a matter of fact he was doing his job quite well and had our defense on their heels a few times in today's match." Momentum picked up as each team embraced the urgent need to score but it was the contending keepers playing their best soccer of the match in the final 15 minutes which gave way for the match to move into extra minutes. Hope flickered for the Falcons with 10-seconds remaining in regulation when Chuko Evwaraye tried to turn a crossing pass from Hepple into his second game winning goal of the season, but the shot had a bit too much power and sailed over the heads of the Hartwick defense only to land out of bounds. Defense ruled the following 20-minutes of overtime play and the first MAC meeting between the programs resulted in the 2-2 tie. As the season progresses, the Falcons continue to push their home matches into extra minutes. Of their five home matches, only one (Sept. 20) was decided in regulation. The Falcons have also required each of their MAC matches to be finalized in overtime. Looking ahead, the upcoming week could be the toughest in recent BGSU memory as the Falcons face not one, but two nationally ranked opponents on their own grass. First BGSU will travel to Ann Arbor, Mich. for a mid-week non-conference dual with the Wolverines of 21 Michigan. The soccer Falcons will then turn around and prepare for an evening showdown with conference rival Akron on Saturday.

Farrier served a ball towards the penalty area from just on the Bryan side of midfield. Near the top of the 18-yard box, freshman midfielder Brandin McClay (East Taunton, Mass.) jumped up, got his head to the ball and was able to re-direct it beyond the reach of Bryant goalkeeper Thomas Madden to give SCSU a 1-0 lead.
Farrier would strike just 6:49 later for his first of two tallies in the opening half. In the 20th minute, Farrier took the ball one-on-one against a Bryant defender through the left side of the penalty area. From about 15 yards away, he lined a shot to the far corner of the net; just beyond a diving Madden to give extend the Owls lead to 2-0. Later, in the 35th minute, Farrier would strike again, this time for his team-leading seventh goal of the season. Sophomore Michael Dibartolomeo (Wallingford, Conn.) took a corner kick from the left corner and it landed right at the feet of Farrier in front of the Bryant net. Farrier knocked it home for his second goal of the game and a 3-0 SCSU lead. Bryant would get a goal back with 4:59 to play in the first half. Out of a scramble in the middle of the penalty area, Mike Gargiulo was able to poke the ball loose to a wide open Matthew Brown in the left side of the box. Brown rifled it home to cut the SCSU lead to 3-1 as the teams headed to the locker room. The Owls held a 5-4 shots advantage headed into the halftime break. The Bulldogs pulled to within a goal just 3:12 into the second half. Again Gargiulo picked up an assist as he fed the ball into the box from the right side. Manny Rodriguez was waiting for it at the left post and headed it in to cut the deficit to 3-2. In the 71st minute, Bryant momentarily appeared to have tied the game when the ball was knocked into the goal off a corner kick taken by Sean Kaukas. However, it was ruled the ball was deflected in with a handball and the goal was disallowed. Junior midfielder Djordje Jankovic (Sabac, Serbia) put the game on ice for the Owls when he scored his second goal of the season with 37.4 seconds remaining on the clock. Senior forward Larry Yeboah (Worcester, Mass.) crossed the ball from the left side and found Jankovic in the center of the penalty area. Jankovic headed it past Madden to create the 4-2 final score. Bryant held a 6-5 shots advantage in the second half and each team finished with 10 shots in the full 90 minutes. Senior goalkeeper Brendan Lawless (Orleans, Mass.) made zero saves in net while he earned the victory for SCSU. Madden made one save in front of the Bryant goal in defeat. The Owls return to action on Wednesday, October 17 when they visit current Northeast-10 leader Franklin Pierce. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Sodexho Field in Rindge, N.H.

Instead, the ball wound up at the feet of Yearwood, who popped in from nine yards out for his eighth goal of the season.

October 11, 2007Brooklyn drops heartbreaker to Medgar, 3-2, in overtime
brooklyncollegeathletics.comThe Brooklyn College Men's Soccer Team (2-9, 1-5 CUNYAC) came back from a two goal deficit to send their final home game of the season into overtime, but could not hang on as Medgar Evers' Kelly Celestine scored four minutes into the extra session to give Medgar (6-8, 4-2 CUNYAC) a 3-2 victory. The game was a very physical, well-played affair as both teams spent most of the first half trying to control the midfield. An early goal by Kwame Adisson gave Medgar a 1-0 lead that they carried into halftime. Eight minutes into the second stanza, Medgar negated a BC attack and then lofted a ball over the Brooklyn defenders. When first-year goalkeeper Scott Geller came out too far to try and stop the Celestine, who caught up to the pass and was in the clear, all the Medgar forward had to do was touch the ball past Geller and into the empty net for a 2-0 Cougar lead.
Brooklyn came right back and scored within the next 30 seconds as
Stephen Chase (St. Mary's College/Brooklyn, NY) scored off a deflection from the Medgar goalie Eric Browne, who stopped a shot from Elis Llagami (FDR/Brooklyn, NY). The game remained 2-1 for the next 22 minutes, but then BC got a corner kick from the left side and Llagami aired the ball to the right post where
Jason Trotman (Fatima College/Brooklyn, NY) headed the ball passed Browne and the game was now tied. During the short overtime session, Medgar Evers' Tito Thorpe sailed a pass over the Brooklyn defense, finding Celestine for the game-winner. Although dejected from the game's outcome, BC has played a much improved brand of soccer over the second half of their season and is primed to make a run at the playoffs as they hit the road to take on CCNY on Saturday at 6pm.

This is the kind of spirit we need at all USCA athletic events, and when basketball season starts, we will definitely pay them [the fans] back.” Making a number of sensational saves on the evening, Medina nearly doubled his previous career-best of six saves in the season opener at Pfeiffer on August 25. In the process, the Merida, Mexico native notched his second shutout of the season. Kofi Akyere got the Pacers on the board in the 31st minute as he beat Trojan netminder Chase Smith one on one, firing a shot to the lower corner from 20 yards out. It was the seventh marker of the season for Akyere, which leads the team and ranks fourth in the Peach Belt Conference in goals scored.

Mount Olive’s best attempt at tying the game came in the opening moments of the season half. A misplayed ball near the midfield by the Pacers resulted in an attacking opportunity for the Trojans. But facing Medina, Drew Toler’s shot was blocked by Medina. On the loose ball, Toler tried to score into the open net, but a Pacer defense was able to register the team save by clearing the shot attempt.

USC Aiken will host Montreat on Monday, October 15 at 7:00 PM in the final home game for 13 Pacer seniors.

October 9, 2007Marshall's First Goal Seals Tie With FAU
gousfbulls.comIn its third double-overtime match in the last four outings, the No. 15 University of South Florida men's soccer team recorded its second tie of the year, a 1-1 final against Florida Atlantic, Tuesday night at FAU Field. Capping off a four-game road stint, USF, 7-2-2 (2-2-1), fell behind for only the third time this season when the Owls' Gianni Piccoletti placed a header past Bulls goalkeeper Diego Restrepo in the 17th minute of play for his second score of the year. Senior defender David Acosta was credited with the assist. "I felt like we started the match slow, but then picked up our game in the last 20 minutes of the first half and continued to improve in the start of the second," said head coach George Kiefer.
That improved play was evident by junior defender
Yohance Marshall registering his first goal of the year to equalize the match just before the conclusion of the first half. In the 44th minute, freshman midfielder Bernardo Anor sent a free kick into FAU's box that Marshall was able to power into the net. The header was the third career goal of the Malabar Arima, Trinidad, native's career and the first points for him this year. Marshall's shot on goal was his second this season, as he took the first penalty kick against UCF in the season opener. For Anor, the assist was the his second this year, brining his points total to 10 and making him the fourth Bull in double-digits in that category this season, (Jordan Seabrook - 15, Simon Schoendorf - 13,
Kevon Neaves - 10). The 1-1 score proved to be all the offense in the contest, as the score remained steady through the second half and two overtimes, despite USF advancement. "I was happy with the chances we created in overtime," continued Kiefer. "We had five or six good opportunities to put the game away. As long as we keep creating those kinds of chances, we'll be alright." The Bulls were out-shot 13-8 in the match but Restrepo tallied four saves to keep any further damage from being done. The tie was the first of the year for FAU, who move to 4-6-1 overall. The match marks the last non-conference opponent the Bulls will see this year. They will battle only BIG EAST Red Division foes from this point on, with four of the six remaining regular season matches at home. USF now returns home to Tampa to face Red Division leader Villanova on Fri., Oct. 12 at 8 p.m.
