WARRIOR MEN’S SOCCER TOPS LINCOLN

LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, PA – The Lycoming College men’s soccer team took a break from conference play, Tuesday afternoon, to take on Lincoln University. The Warriors scored two goals in each half to cruise to a 4-1 victory. With the win Lycoming improves to 6-9-2, while the Lions fell to 9-4-1.

The Warriors got off to a fast start with goals by Troy Watson (Fr./North East, MD; Rising Sun) and Jeff Kocher (Fr./Churchville, MD; C. Milton Wright) in the first half. Watson’s goal came unassisted. Brad Martin (So./Annapolis, MD; Broadneck) assisted on Kocher’s score.

Lincoln cut Lycoming’s lead in half early in the second half on a goal by Rosevelt Bele. The Warriors, however, regained their two-goal cushion on a goal by Vance Kennedy (Fr./Port Royal, PA; Juniata) off a pass from Kocher. Phil Kratochvil (Fr./Bel Air, MD; C. Milton Wright) added an insurance goal of a crossing pass from Ian Kauffman (Jr./Lewisberry, PA; Red Land).

Sean Cunningham (Fr./Pitman, NJ; Pitman) received the start in goal for Lycoming and made four saves.

“This was a good win for us. They are a very good team and I think we surprised them a little,” said Lycoming head coach Scott Kennell. “We played very well, another glimpse of this team’s potential. Hopefully we can build some momentum from today’s win and finish strong in our final two games.”

The Warriors will play again on Thursday versus FDU-Florham at a site to be determined.
