WARRIOR MEN’S SOCCER SHUTS OUT BRYN ATHYN

BRYN ATHYN, PA – The Lycoming College men’s soccer team improved to 3-0-1 on the season with their second shutout of the 2002 campaign. The Warriors scored a goal in the eighth minute of play and added a pair of penalty kicks later in the game for insurance. Bryn Athyn opens the year at 0-1.

Lycoming got the only goal they needed just 7:56 into the contest. Jason Mathews (Jr./North Wales, PA; Christopher Dock) split the defense with a pass that Andrew Rampulla (Fr./Mechanicsburg, PA; Cumberland Valley) one-timed into the back of the net.

The Warriors added their second goal just prior to the half when Ian Kauffman (Jr./Lewisberry, PA; Red Land) converted a penalty kick. Junior Joe Balduino (Washington, NJ; Warren Hills Regional) also scored on a penalty kick for Lycoming’s third goal after he was fouled from behind in the box.

Jason Fesler (So./Carlisle, PA; Cumberland Valley), Will Anthony (So./Schuylkill Haven, PA; Nativity), and Sean Cunningham (Fr./Pitman, NJ; Pitman) combined for the shutout in goal.

“It was good to get another win and maintain the momentum we’ve picked up from our early success,” said Head Coach Scott Kennell. “But we know it’s a long season and things are going to get tougher, so we’re going to continue to work hard and try to build upon this start.”
