Behrend Men Keep
Rolling With Win Over Grove City
Behrend men's soccer chalked up another win Wednesday
against a very talented Grove City team when Marco Loffreda
(Pittsburgh/Beaver) put the game-winner in the net with under 10
minutes left in the second half.
Behrend out shot Grove City 10-8 and held the
Wolverines to just one corner kick all game.
The victory puts Behrend at 5-1 as they get ready for conference play, away
against Penn State Altoona on Saturday, September 24 at 4:00 p.m.
With the win came another milestone for head coach Dan Perritano, who
reached the 300 career-win mark. "It is a product of having good players
and good support from the university" said Perritano. Previously he has
coached women's soccer at Monroe Community College, the University of the
Redlands, and at Penn State Behrend. His win total at the three institutions
including men's and women's victories is an impressive 300-168-33.
In addition, last Saturday, September 13, Penn State Behrend men's soccer
coach Dan Perritano captured record-breaking win number 132 with a 1-0 home
victory over Westminster. Perritano boasts an overall men's mark at Behrend
of 132-91-18 in thirteen years.
Perritano entered the contest with 131 wins which tied the all-time men's
soccer record with the late Hall of Fame coach Herb Lauffer who coached the
blue and white for 23 years from 1968 to 1990.
