Men’s Soccer Wins in High Scoring Affair
Fouls Aplenty in Physical Match

Williamsport, Pa. --- The Lycoming College Men’s Soccer team found themselves in a fast paced, physical battle against the visiting Keystone Giants. Junior Zach Tanner (Waynesboro, Pa.) was the first to strike, scoring a mere 15 seconds into the match. Keystone was not about to let that goal stand without making a run at the net when Mukuka Kapilikisha scored just twenty-two seconds later to tie the game at one all.

The excitement did not end there, as Joshua Ashton of Keystone scored on a penalty kick, just out of the reach of Lycoming goalkeeper Matt Klipp (Collegeville, Pa.). That would be all the scoring for the Giants for the rest of the match. Shortly after the PK, sophomore midfielder Paul Boucher (Hauppauge, N.Y.) scored on a well played through ball from Joe Pusateri (Rockville, Md.). Still working on the adrenaline of scoring, Tanner struck twice to give himself a hat trick for the day. Paul Boucher assisted the third goal of the day scored by Tanner. This was not to be the end of Boucher either, as he scored the fifth and final goal, beating the keeper to the far post and burying the ball in the back of the net. Five of the games seven goals were scored in the first nine minutes of the game.

Penalties were also a big deal in the game, with four yellow cards being dealt out to both teams and over twenty fouls being handed out overall.

Lycoming Men’s Soccer returns to the pitch Tuesday September 12, 2006 as they travel to Juniata. Game time is set for 4:30 pm. The Warriors next home game is Saturday September 23 against Elizabethtown College, kick off at 1:00 pm.
