Box Score
GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Gregg Laskow
scored off a turnover in the 86th minute to help Frostburg State defeat Gettysburg
2-0 in non-conference men’s soccer action on Wednesday.
Trevor Havey added his second goal of the
season 68 seconds later as the Bobcats (1-2) snapped a four-game losing streak
to the Bullets (1-1-1). Derek Richardson recorded four saves to
earn the shutout.
Matt
Varner (Medford, NJ/Shawnee) fired a team-best three of Gettysburg’s 12
shots, putting one on goal. Garrett Bruno (Harrisburg, PA/Susquehanna Twp.)
and Jesse Gemberling-Johnson (Wyndmoor, PA/Christopher Dock) added
two shots apiece.
Minutes after
surviving a pair of Bullet shots that ripped off the goal post, Frostburg State
struck for the winning tally.
A
Bullet turnover put the ball on the foot of Laskow at the 18-yard line and the
sophomore lofted a shot over Gettysburg goalie Nick Wells-Bundtzen (Williamstown,
MA/Mt. Greylock) to make it 1-0 with 4:08 remaining.
Still carrying the momentum of Laskow’s goal, the Bobcats
struck again when Havey strolled down the left side, beat a defender and placed
a shot in the lower right corner for a two-goal cushion with 3:02 left.
The Bullets got the better of play in the early going,
firing half of their shots before the game was 15 minutes old. Richardson got
into the contest with saves on Varner in the 11th minute and Bruno in the 15th
minute. The Frostburg keeper also stopped Brandon Bell (Hagerstown, MD/North
Hagerstown) with 2:29 left in the first half.
Wells-Bundtzen returned the favor with three saves in the
first 23 minutes of the second half. Gettysburg’s best chance to score came in
the 76th minute when Bruno hit the post to the left of Richardson and Brad
Tabor’s (Kinnelon, NJ/Kinnelon) rebound followed suit.
Wells-Bundtzen saved a free kick by Eric Whisman,
but Laskow and Havey found the net moments later to give the Bobcats their first
win of the 2005 campaign.
The
Bullets return to action on Friday against Eastern at Christopher Dock High School
in Lansdale, Pa. Game time is 7 p.m.
