Box Score

GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Chris Borcik (Reisterstown, MD/Franklin) scored the game-winning goal to seal Gettysburg’s win over Washington 2-1 in Centennial Conference (CC) men’s soccer action on Saturday.

The Bullets dominated the first half, outshooting the Shoremen 10-2, but couldn’t convert on the attempts. After a scoreless 44 minutes, Matt Varner (Medford, NJ/Shawnee) put the Bullets (7-5-1, 4-1-1 CC) on the board with his first career goal. With 23 seconds remaining in the first half, Varner headed the ball out of a scramble in front of the net.

Just over 10 minutes into the second half, Brad Tabor (Kinnelon, NJ/Kinnelon) fired a shot that drew Washington’s backup goalkeeper Sean Ferri out for the save, allowing Borcik to grab the rebound and send it past Ferri for the game-winner. The goal was Borcik’s team-leading eighth of the season.

Jonnie Jenkins brought the Shoremen within one, scoring a goal from about 10 yards out at 69:26, but it wouldn’t be enough to get Washington back into the game.

The Shoremen’s best opportunity to tie the game came with just under 10 minutes left when Tim Kerr fired a shot from the 18-yard box, but Brendan Cain (Derwood, MD/Bethesda-Chevy Chase) cleared the ball before it got to the goal.

Gettysburg goalkeeper Nick Wells-Bundtzen (Williamstown, MA/Mt. Greylock) made three saves in the winning effort.

The Bullets outshot Washington 25-8, and had a 12-2 edge in corner kicks.
