LOCK HAVEN, Pa. –
The Lock Haven
University men’s soccer team (13-4-3) is NCAA-tournament
bound. The Bald Eagles defeated West Chester University
(15-7-1) 2-0 today at McCollum Field, winning the
Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Tournament
and earning an automatic bid to the NCAA Division II
tournament.
LHU has been on a roll as
of late, having not lost in their last 12 matches.
Senior Joe Leap (Long Valley, N.J./West Morris
Central) got the scoring started for the Haven, after a
beautiful pass from freshman Ashley Rosindale
(Bradford, England/Beckfoot School) led him past the
defensive line.
Rosindale capped the
scoring on an adventurous goal just 12 minutes into the
second half. The team’s lead striker with 12 goals,
Rosindale had been frustrated in the early going,
getting several good looks, only to bungle the chance by
missing wide or have WCU goalkeeper Andrew Shafer make
the save.
Rosindale
broke into the scoring column from outside the 18-yard
box, hitting the underside of the crossbar, deflecting
downward to the goal line and bouncing in. For his goal
and assist, Rosindale was named the PSAC Outstanding
Player of the Game.
Freshman Chad Feerrar
(Lock Haven, Pa./Central Mountain) made three saves for
his fifth shutout of the season. Shafer made five saves
in the loss.
Leap, Rosindale, Feerrar
and the rest of the Bald Eagles are back in action at
the 33rd Annual Division II Men’s Soccer
Championship either Nov. 11 or 12 with times and
opponents to be determined Monday, Nov. 8. |
