September 10, 2009
MSOC: DOLPHINS COME FROM BEHIND TO UPEND #16 WILMINGTON,
2-1
Syracuse, N.Y. - Junior back Sean Lawlor
(Kirkham, Preston/Baines School) scored
his first goal of the season and the Le Moyne College men's soccer
team came from behind to knock off No. 16 Wilmington University,
2-1, in non-conference action Thursday afternoon at the Thomas J.
Niland Athletic Complex.
After being out-shot 8-2 in the first half, the Dolphins scored a
pair of second-half goals four
minutes apart to earn the win. Lawlor evened the score at 1-1
on a booming penalty kick after a Wilmington foul in the penalty
box at the 53:06 mark. Forward Angelo Reina (Frankfort,
N.Y./Utica Notre Dame), the Northeast-10 Conference player
of the week for Aug. 31, netted his fifth goal of the season on a
breakaway just over four minutes later. The junior has scored the
game-winning goal in each of Le Moyne's three wins this season.
The Wildcats, who came into the game ranked No. 2 in the
NSCAA/adidas East Regional Poll, scored the game's first goal just
before the halftime break, at the 43:54 mark. Senior forward
Sargbah Tarpeh took a flicked ball from freshman midfielder Justus
Henry and slid it just past Le Moyne goalkeeper Steve White
(Cortland, N.Y./Cortland).
White, the reigning Northeast-10 Conference goalkeeper of the
week, finished with four saves. The senior earned his
37th career win to take over first place in program
history. Sophomore goalkeeper Ethan Kavanagh finished with a pair
of saves for the Wildcats.
Le Moyne (3-0-1, NE-10 0-0), ranked No. 6 in the NSCAA/adidas East
Regional Poll, travels to Southern New Hampshire for its first
Northeast-10 Conference game of the season at 1 p.m. Sunday. The
Penmen are the top-ranked team in the East Regional Poll and sit
No. 10 in the national rankings.
