Fairleigh Dickinson Blanks St. Francis-PA, 3-0
Ferrara, Paye and Brandt score for Knights in first NEC win.

Loretto, Pa. – ­ Sophomore Eugene Ferrara (Scotch Plains, N.J.) and juniors Aaron Paye (Brooklyn Center, Minn.) and Eric Brandt (Spring, Tex) each scored goals to lead the Fairleigh Dickinson University men's soccer team (4-4-0, 1-2-0) past St. Francis (Pa.) (1-5-1, 0-1-0 NEC) by a score of 3-0.  Senior goalkeeper Vytautas Lenkutis (Vilnius, Lithuania) posted his second shutout of the season as the Knights captured their first NEC win of the year.  

“Today we finished our opportunities,” said head coach Seth Roland.  “We didn’t finish the other day against Robert Morris, but today we were aggressive and put those opportunities away.”

The Knights got on the scoreboard in the 15^th minute when Ferrara blasted a shot from 25 yards out for his first tally of the season.  Paye scored his team-leading sixth goal of the season on an assist by junior Dirceu Hurtado (Totowa, N.J.) in the 34^th minute and Brandt added another insurance goal in the 38^th minute, his first career score.

Lenkutis stopped seven shots for the Knights.  Red Flash netminder Joe Alianiello made five saves.  

“It was a very solid effort overall,” said Roland.  “Vytautas played well and made a couple of big saves.  Eric Brandt gave us a strong presence in the back and defensively we did well against a big team.”

The Knights return to action on September 26, when they take on intra-state foe Seton Hall on the road at 3:00 p.m.
