Dickinson Men’s Soccer Takes Quinnipiac, 3-1 Teaneck,
N.J.
– Three different Knights scored goals to give the Fairleigh Dickinson
University (10-6-0, 6-2-0 NEC) men’s soccer team a 3-1 win over visiting
Quinnipiac (5-7-1, 2-4-1 NEC) this afternoon.
The Knights’ 10th win of the season gives the program three
straight seasons of 10 wins or more and fourth in the last five years. Quinnipiac
opened up the scoring in the 27th minute as Everson Maciel connected
on a direct kick from 25 yards out. The
Knights evened the score at 1-1 in the 43rd minute when junior
midfielder Johnny David (Hillside, N.J.) found the back of the net off a
feed from junior forward Dirceu Hurtado (Totowa, N.J.) Five minutes and 33 seconds into the second half, junior back Taffarie Laing (Kingston, Jamaica) headed a corner kick by junior forward Aaron Paye (Brooklyn Center, Minn.) to give the Knights a 2-1 advantage. Fairleigh Dickinson got an insurance goal at the 84-minute mark. Senior midfielder Brian Romero (Paterson, N.J.) headed a goal kick by senior goalkeeper Vytautas Lenkutis (Vilnius, Lithuania) to Hurtado, who broke free and fired it past Braves’ keeper Kevin Kelley .Lenkutis
made five saves in goal for the Knights, while Kelley stopped two shots.
Quinnipiac out-shot the Knights, 17-10. “Today
we put together a championship effort,” said Knights’ head coach Seth
Roland. “They took it to
us for 30 minutes and scored. Instead
of folding we stepped up and scored before the half.
We got another goal early in the second and played down a man for the
final 26 minutes. It was also
great to see Dirceu get one today in his best effort of the season.” The
Knights, who have now won three straight and six of their last seven, return to
action on Sunday, October 28th, when they travel to Sacred Heart for
a 1:00 p.m. contest.
