Men's Soccer Moves to
3-0 With Double-Overtime Win
The Penn State Behrend men's soccer team won 2-1 in double-overtime
against Alfred University (0-2) on Wednesday afternoon on the
Behrend Fields. "We are playing really well right now and controlled
the majority of the match," said head coach Dan Perritano. "Our
players are very confident in our system."
Behrend trailed after Bobby Linaberry found the back of the net for
the Saxons at the 33:00 minute mark, but responded halfway through
the second half as freshman Ahmad Salim (Cranberry/Seneca Valley)
headed in the game tying goal. After a scoreless first overtime
followed by nine minutes and 19 seconds of more outstanding defense,
senior Mark Cipriani (Erie/Cathedral Prep) connected for the
game-winner.
Both goalies excelled with Behrend's Matt Zirnsak making a dozen
saves between the pipes. Behrend remains undefeated at 3-0 as head
coach Dan Perritano picked up men's and women's career coaching
victory number two-hundred and ninety-eight.
The Behrend Lions host Westminster College on Saturday, September 10
at 3:00 p.m. in non-conference action before traveling to Fredonia
on September 13 for their first road contest of the season.
