CORNELL TOPS UALBANY MEN'S SOCCER
3-2 IN OVERTIME
Hamilton, N.Y.
? Matt Bouraee scored 3:27 into the second overtime period to lift Cornell
University to a 3-2 victory over the University at Albany men's soccer team at Colgate
University's Van Doren Field on Friday evening in the opening match of the Raiders
Adidas Fall Classic.
The Big Red were the first to
get on the board as Brian Kuritzky scored just
over the 15 minute mark on a shot just past the outreached fingertips of
UAlbany junior goalkeeper Steward Ceus.
UAlbany knotted the score at
one apiece 21 minutes later when freshman forward Shaun Kane scored his second
goal of the season by depositing the shot in the left corner pocket. Sophomore
forward Kenneth Ibe picked up the first assist of his career on the tally.
After a
UAlbany penalty kick was wide right, the Big Red took a 2-1 advantage as
Brett Sumpio rocketed a shot from just outside the penalty box into the net off
an assist from Bouraee at the 41:49 mark of the first half.
The Great Danes evened the
score at two on Ibe's first career goal off a two-on-one feed from junior
Mikael-Taylor McNamara with 36:51 remaining in regulation. UAlbany
and Cornell played the remainder of the half scoreless to force overtime.
Both teams had opportunities
to score in the first overtime period but were unable to capitalize on their
chances. Ceus stopped a close range shot in the 99th minute to keep the game
tied at two.
Bouraee collected an errant
UAlbany pass and went in one-on-one with Ceus and shot the ball into the right
side of the goal.
UAlbany was outshot by the Big
Red 23-15, including 12-8 in shots on goal. Cornell held a 7-6 edge in
corner kicks.
Ceus registered a season-high nine
saves, including four in the first 10 minute overtime period to preserve the
tie and deliver the second overtime period. Cerretani recorded six saves in
between the pipes for Cornell (3-0).
UAlbany (1-2) will return to
action on Sunday, September 9, against host Colgate in the final match of the Raiders
Adidas Fall Classic at 2:30 p.m.
