MEN'S SOCCER: LE MOYNE WINS FIFTH STRAIGHT, 2-1 OVER SAINT ROSE
ALBANY, N.Y.
- Senior forward Ryan Cunningham (Baldwinsville,
N.Y./Baldwinsville) assisted on the tying goal and scored
the game-winner as Le Moyne squeaked past Saint Rose in a
Northeast-10 Conference men's soccer match at The Albany Academy
for Boys. Le Moyne (8-3, 6-2 Northeast-10) extended its winning
streak to five consecutive matches, while Saint Rose (1-9, 0-6
Northeast-10) remains winless in league play.
The Golden Knights got on the board first after junior midfielder
Ryan Hunt was taken down by a Dolphin defender just 2:22 into the
match. Saint Rose was awarded a penalty kick that Todd Driscoll
capitalized on, giving the Golden Knights a 1-0 edge.
The score remained 1-0 until the 59th minute when sophomore
forward Matthew Pecheone (New
Hartford,
N.Y./New
Hartford) beat a Saint Rose
defender to a thru ball from Cunningham. Pecheone dribbled around
junior keeper Peter Cappiello and found the back of the net for his
team-high ninth goal of the season that knotted the score at
1-1.
Ten minutes later, the Dolphins were awarded a free kick from
25-yards out. Junior midfielder Eric Macias
(Silver Spring,
Md./Wheaton)
took a shot that deflected off of Cappiello and directly to the
feet of Cunningham who buried the shot from in front of the
net.
Freshman goalkeeper Steve White
(Cortland,
N.Y./Cortland) improved to 7-3 between the posts for the
Dolphins and made four saves in the match. Cappiello had six saves
for Saint Rose.
Le Moyne travels to Bryant for a 1 p.m. kickoff in
Smithfield, R.I. on Saturday.
