Men's Soccer Shuts Out Lake Erie 2-0 in
Thrilling Match
The
Penn State Behrend Lions faced off against the Lake Erie Storm on Wednesday,
October 3 at the Behrend fields. The men were looking to tally
another win towards conference play.
The men came out to play and were on fire from the start. The
blue and white controlled most of the first half with exceptional
passes and great defensive playing. In the 33rd minute,
Behrend was awarded a free kick at the top of the box. Senior
captain David Baleno (Pittsburgh/Plum) stepped up and knocked one
right passed the goalie. The half ended with Behrend ahead by
one.
The second half was much of the same for the men. Lake Erie
had a few chances at the goal, but failed. After much long and
hard play, the men struck net again in the 71st minute. Jerry
Tortella (Pittsburgh/Thomas Jefferson) took a great pass from senior
Jamie Thomas (Erie/McDowell) and shot what seemed like a rocket pass
the goalie.
The Behrend Lions (6-4-2) out-shot the Storm 22-15. Goalkeepr
Dustin Walker (Apollo/Kiski Area) earned the shut out and had nine
saves on the day.
The blue and white will next travel to Pitt-Greensburg on October 6,
to play the Bobcats at 4:00 p.m. Later next week the men will
host Pitt-Bradford in their sixth AMCC game this season.
