WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – The Lycoming College men’s soccer team rebounded from two consecutive losses with a convincing 5-1 win over the University of Pittsburgh-Bradford on Wednesday, Sept. 17. Chris Lorenzet and Zach Frederick each scored two goals in the game.

The Warriors added a second goal in the 26th minute when freshman Randon Wilston (Mainesburg, Pa.) touched a long pass from Joe Pusateri (Rockville, Md.) over the Bradford keeper’s head. The goal was the first of his collegiate career.

The Panthers (1-5-1) battled back, scoring a goal in the 27th minute. Toby Abdul-Razaq fired a shot on goal that was saved by a diving David Bald (Annapolis, Md.), but the ball rebounded to the foot of Scott Pastorius, who notched his first goal of the season.

Lycoming added a third goal in the first half when Chris Lorenzet (Forest Hill, Md.) took the ball the length of the field and powered home an unassisted marker in the 35th minute. He continued his scoring streak in the second half, first assisting Frederick’s second goal in the 59th minute and then scoring his second of the day in the 77th minute.
