LYCOMING MEN’S SOCCER WINS SIXTH STRAIGHT VERSUS JUNIATA

WILLIAMSPORT, PA. – The Lycoming College men’s soccer team won its sixth straight game against Juniata by a score of 3-0, thus making the Warriors undefeated since their opening loss to Gallaudet. The Warriors improve their record to 6-1 while Juniata drops to 2-5-1.

In the first half the only goal was scored by sophomore Ryan Burgett (Carlisle, Pa./ Carlisle) off an assist by Jeff Kocher (Churchville, Md./ C. Milton Wright). The first goal was scored at 24 minutes into the half and would prove to be all the scoring Lycoming would need.

In the second half, however, sophomore Andrew Rampulla (Mechanicsburg, Pa./ Cumberland valley) added a pair of insurance goals. The first came in the 46^th minute and was unassisted. The second came 40 minutes later at the 86^th minute and was assisted by Troy Watson (North East, Md./ Rising Sun).

Lycoming’s senior goalkeeper Jason Fesler (Carlisle, Pa./ Cumberland Valley) recorded the shutout behind the superb defensive play of seniors Kory Wertz (Middletown, Pa./ Middletown) and Ian Kauffman (Lewisberry, Pa./ Red Land); and sophomore Ryan Wertz (Middletown, Pa./Middletown).

The Warriors will play again at home on Sunday, September 21, against DeSales University in their first Freedom Conference match of the season. The match is set to begin at 2:30 p.m.
