DON JOHNSON LEADS
UALBANY TO 1-0 WIN OVER MAINE
Albany,
N.Y. ? Junior Don Johnson scored just under three minutes into the game to lead
UAlbany to a 1-0 win over Maine in America East Conference men's soccer action
at Varsity Field on Wednesday, Oct. 31.
Johnson collected a loose ball and
turned and fired a shot from just outside the penalty box arc into the upper
right corner of the goal for the Great Danes. UAlbany controlled play much of
the rest of the half, but could not add to its lead and the two teams went into
intermission with UAlbany ahead, 1-0.
The second half was back-and-forth,
but neither team could convert their opportunities. UAlbany had three shots
turned away by Maine
goalkeeper Nemanja Kostic in a 30-second span early in the second half. Maine
had its best scoring opportunity at the 71:38 mark when Dimitri Anastasiou had
a breakaway, but UAlbany keeper Steward Ceus came out of goal and used his
6-foot-6 frame to tip the ball away.
UAlbany outshot the Black Bears 13-7
in the contest, including 7-2 in the opening half. Junior Gaby Seguin-Gauthier
led the Great Danes in shots with three. Maine
used a 3-1 edge in corner kicks in the second half to hold a 4-3 advantage in
the match. Ceus recorded three saves to register his third shutout of the
season, while Kostic made five saves for Maine
(3-13-1, AE 1-6-1).
UAlbany (3-10-3, AE 2-3-2) closes
out its regular season on Sunday, Nov. 4 against Hartford at 2 p.m. Senior Mike
DiNeen will be recognized prior to kick-off for his contributions to the Great
Dane program.
