Five in a Row

Sophomore Michael Bistany netted the "Golden Goal" in double overtime yesterday to give us the 2-1 win over LaRoche College.

This was an important win for us becasue now both teams are 5-3 in AMCC play and we hold the tiebreaker.  The #4 seed and a home field game for the playoffs will most likely come down to us and LaRoche.  Both of us have 2 games left that will determine the final seeding, so nothing will be set until the final day fo the season.

The first half of the game was a bit sloppy as we gave the ball away too much in the mid-field, but the back line played well and only allowed 2 shots on goal.  The second half was much cleaner and we moved ball around much more efficiently and held a 9-3 advantage in shots in the second half.  Senior Ricky Marchant got us on the board in the opening five minutes after slotting home a flicked on header from Dillon Muise.  We seemed to be in control of the game and never let LaRoche be too threatening, but after a poor clearance in our box found one of their forwards alone at the top of the 18, he buried it in the upper right corner and tied the match at one.

We would have a few more chances to put the game away, but were unsuccessful until Mike Bistany found the back of the net off of another lay off from Muise in the second overtime.

Senior Day will be this Saturday at 1pm against Pitt-Bradford as we will see 8 seniors play their final regular season home match for FSU.
