Men's Soccer Earns First Conference Points in Draw at Susquehanna

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – The Wilkes University men's soccer team earned its first points in Landmark Conference play on Wednesday night with a 1–1 draw at Susquehanna University on Sassafras Field.

The draw moves the Colonels to 0–8–2 overall and 0–2–1 in Landmark play while Susquehanna sits at 2–6–3 overall and 0–1–2 in Landmark.

Both teams scored in the first half, in what was the only shots on goal in the opening period. Susquehanna scored first in the eighth minute off a pass into the box. The Colonels found the equalizer ten minutes later when Lorenzo Lici (Pavullo Nel Frignano, Italy/Camp Hill) lofted a ball across the field and over the reach of the River Hawks' goalkeeper. Susquehanna outshot Wilkes 5–2 in the first 45 minutes.

The second half saw defenses control the game, but Lici was able to get another shot on target that was stopped by Susquehanna. Susquehanna had a chance for the go-ahead goal in the 86th minute, but a big save from Matthew Conti (Florence, NJ/Florence Township Memorial High School) held both teams to a 1–1 draw.

Susquehanna out Wilkes 10–8, but the Colonels outshot the River Hawks 6–5 in the second half. Susquehanna put three shots on goal to Wilkes two, and River Hawks had five corners to the Colonels two.

Lici led the Colonels offensively with three shots, followed by Kendall Heck (West Wyoming, PA/Wyoming Area High School) with two. Conti played all 90 minutes in goal, recording two saves.

The Colonels return to Bruggeworth Field on Saturday, Oct. 10 to face the Catholic University of America at 4:00 p.m. The game will also serve as the team's Breast Cancer Awareness Game.
