OAKDALE, N.Y. – Facing this squad for the third time in the last two years, the Lock Haven University men’s soccer team (2-1) had a near-miss 3-2 loss to No. 3 Dowling College (1-0-2) today (Sept. 4).
Dowling wasted little time ending the Bald Eagles’ shutout season, scoring on a header just 52 seconds into the contest. LHU would answer just under two minutes later.
Junior Patrick Long (Lock Haven, Pa./Central Mountain) squeaked a free kick past the Golden Lion defense for his first goal of the season.
Sophomore Ashley Rosindale (Bradford, England/Beckfoot School) nearly gave the Bald Eagles the advantage later in the quarter, knocking a loose ball off the crossbar and the Dowling defense cleared it out.
The Lions added two more strikes for the 3-1 lead going into the half.
A fired-up LHU squad came out firing in the second half, with freshman Scott M. Patrick (Harrisburg, Pa./Lower Dauphin) adding the first goal of his career. The Bald Eagles were unable to get that final goal to equal the game back out, falling by the eventual 3-2 margin.
Sophomore Chad Feerrar (Lock Haven, Pa./Central Mountain) and freshman William Trimble III (Lancaster, Pa./Manheim Township) split time in goal, with Feerrar picking up his first loss of the season.
Long, Rosindale, Feerrar, Trimble and the rest of the Bald Eagles are back in action Wednesday, Sept. 7 at 4 p.m. |
