MSOC: CARR LEADS RALLY AS #18 LE MOYNE TOPS UMASS LOWELL,
2-1
Syracuse, N.Y. - Sophomore midfielder Jesse Carr
(Skaneateles, N.Y./Skaneateles) dished out a pair of
assists to lead the 18th-ranked Le Moyne College men's soccer team
to a 2-1 come-from-behind victory over UMass Lowell in Northeast-10
Conference action on Saturday afternoon at the Thomas J. Niland
Athletic Complex.
Over the opening 45 minutes of the contest, the Dolphins held a
10-4 advantage in shots, but the two teams went into the
intermission scoreless. River Hawk goalkeeper Ryan Richards turned
aside three shots in the first half to keep the Dolphins off the
scoreboard.
The two squads remained scoreless until midway through the second
half when they scored 42 seconds apart. UMass Lowell got on the
scoreboard first off the foot of junior forward Stephen Potcner.
After collecting a loose ball just outside the penalty box,
Potcner, the leading scorer for the River Hawks, dribbled to his
left and fired a shot into the right side of the goal at the 72:29
mark. Potcner's goal snapped the scoreless streak for senior
goalkeeper Steve White (Cortland, N.Y./Cortland)
at 467:56.
Following the restart, the Dolphins worked the ball down the field
before being awarded a corner kick on the left side of the field.
Carr sent the ball towards the goal where junior midfielder
Domenico Vitale (Liverpool, N.Y./Cicero-North
Syracuse) headed the ball from the near post over Richards
into the goal.
Less than 10 minutes later, a pass from Carr led to the
game-winning tally. Junior forward Angelo Reina (Frankfort,
N.Y./Utica Notre Dame) collected Carr's pass along the end
line right of the goal and chipped a shot over Richards that landed
just inside the right post for his fifth game-winning marker of the
season. UMass Lowell was able to get off a pair of shots in the
final six minutes, but could not score the equalizer.
White, the reigning Northeast-10 Conference Goalkeeper of the
Week, posted one save between the pipes for the Dolphins, while
Richards was registered with six saves. Le Moyne out-shot its
guests 20-9 and held a 9-1 advantage in corner kicks.
Le Moyne (10-1-2, NE-10 7-1-1), which has won 10 games in a season
for the eighth time in the last nine years, is unbeaten in its last
eight games (7-0-1). The Dolphins return to action on Wednesday,
Oct. 14 at Southern Connecticut State at 7:00 p.m.
