MSOC: DOLPHINS BATTLE TO 0-0 DRAW WITH DOMINICAN IN HOME
OPENER
Syracuse, N.Y. - Senior goalkeeper Steve White (Cortland,
N.Y./Cortland) posted six saves, including three in
overtime, to lead the Le Moyne College men's soccer team to a 0-0
draw with Dominican College on Wednesday afternoon at the Thomas J.
Niland Athletic Complex.
In the opening half, the Dolphins controlled play, but were not
able to capitalize on any of their opportunities. Le Moyne posted a
5-2 advantage in shots and a 3-0 edge in corner kicks in the
half.
In the second half, Dominican was able to control possession of
the ball, leading to a 10-3 advantage in shots, including a pair of
goal, while also recording two corner kicks to Le Moyne's zero.
However, Le Moyne was able to register the best scoring chance of
the match as junior forward Angelo Reina (Frankfort,
N.Y./Utica Notre Dame), the Northeast-10 player of the
week, had a one-on-one shot at the goalkeeper, but Brandon
Heembrock was able to kick the ball away.
In overtime, Dominican held a slight 4-3 edge in shots, including
three on the goal, but White was able to turn each aside and
preserve his 18th career shutout, the second-highest total in the
program's history. Just over four minutes into the first overtime
period, junior back Sean Lawlor (Kirkham, Preston/Baines
School) had a pair of opportunities to score, but was not
able to convert. Following an illegal touching of the ball by
Heembrock, Lawlor's free kick hit the far left post. The ball made
its way back to Lawlor, who shot from 10 yards out, but Heembrock
came up with one of his four saves.
Le Moyne (1-0-1) returns to action on Saturday, Sept. 5 against
No. 15 nationally-ranked Dowling, the 2008 National runner-up, at
3:00 p.m.
