MSOC: #18 DOLPHINS KNOCK OFF ASSUMPTION, 1-0, ON SECOND HALF GOAL
BY DEBOTTIS
Syracuse, N.Y. - Sophomore midfielder Marcus Debottis
(Cicero, N.Y./Cicero-North Syracuse) scored early in the
second half to lead 18th-ranked Le Moyne College to a 1-0 win over
Assumption in Northeast-10 Conference men's soccer action on
Wednesday afternoon at the Thomas J. Niland Athletic Complex.
The Dolphins controlled play throughout the opening 45 minutes of
action, but could not put a tally on the scoreboard. Le Moyne
out-shot the Greyhounds 10-3 in the half, while also holding a 5-0
advantage in corner kicks.
Just over seven minutes into the second half, Debottis scored from
left of the goal to give the Dolphins a 1-0 lead. After a throw-in
down the right sideline by Joe Viviano (North Syracuse,
N.Y./Cicero-North Syracuse), sophomore midfielder
Jesse Carr (Skaneateles, N.Y./Skaneateles) crossed
the ball from just inside the penalty box across the box to
Debottis, who volleyed it from 10 yards out past Greyhound
goalkeeper Brandan Sullivan. The Greyhounds were able to record
nine shots over the final 35 minutes, but could not net the
equalizer.
Le Moyne out-shot the Greyhounds in the match, 18-13, and held a
5-4 edge in corner kicks. Senior goalkeeper Steve White
(Cortland, N.Y./Cortland) made three saves between the
pipes for the Dolphins, while Sullivan recorded eight saves,
including five in the first half.
Le Moyne (8-1-1, NE-10 5-1), which has won five straight games and
is unbeaten at home over its last 15 matches, returns to action on
Saturday at St. Michael's at 12:00 p.m.
