WEST HAVEN, Conn.
(September 19, 2010) – Sophomore back Tyler
Rosa (Rehoboth, Mass.) scored the game-winning goal 2:38
into the second overtime on Sunday afternoon as the Franklin Pierce
University men's soccer team picked up a 1-0, double-overtime, road
victory over New Haven in Northeast-10 Conference play at Kayo
Field.
With the victory, Franklin Pierce
improves to 4-1-0 (2-0-0 Northeast-10), while New Haven falls to
2-3-1 (2-3-0 Northeast-10).
The entirety of regulation went
scoreless, though the Ravens controlled much of the run of play.
Through 90 minutes, Franklin Pierce held an 11-2 advantage in
shots, including 5-0 in shots on goal, in addition to a 10-3 edge
in corner kicks.
The game remained without a goal
through the first 10-minute overtime and into the second, before
Rosa's goal in the 103rd minute sent the Ravens home with the win.
Junior midfielder Paul Latif (Newcastle,
England) took a corner kick for Franklin Pierce. The ball
wound its way into the six-yard box and was deflected. Rosa found
the rebound with his head and his header found the back of the net
for the game-winner and his first goal of the season.
Franklin Pierce finished the
contest with a 14-3 advantage in shots and a 12-3 edge in corner
kicks.
Thanks to the efforts of the
Franklin Pierce defense, junior goalkeeper Vinny
Papageorgiou (Wilmington, Mass.) did not have to make
a save while posting his third clean sheet of the season to pick up
the win (4-1-0) for the Ravens. Junior Jonathan Creem made six
saves and took the loss (2-3-1) in front of the New Haven net.
The Ravens return to the pitch on
Wednesday, Sept. 22, when they return home to host Le Moyne in a
Northeast-10 Conference contest. The match is scheduled for 4 p.m.
at Sodexo Field in Rindge.
