Men’s
Soccer Advance to Region IX Semi Finals
Box Score
Houghton,
N.Y. –
The
Highlanders shut out opponent Daemen College tonight in the Region IX
Quarterfinal Match 4-0. The Highlander freshman lead the way offensively
tonight scoring all four goals from four different freshman players.
Sr. Dan Miller (Stanley, NY) made his first
career start and had an outstanding game shutting out the Wildcats with 6 saves.
Early
in the first half Houghton struck with a diving header by
Fr. Jesse Woolsey (Houghton, NY).
Jr. Josiah Snelgrove (Coldstream, New
Brunswick) took a free kick that went to the top of the 18 yard box where
Woolsey headed into the near low corner. Just 14 seconds later, the
Highlanders struck again. This time the ball was crossed by
Sr. Vince Wagner (Egg Harbor, NJ) to the
far side of the 18 yard box where the ball landed in front of an unmarked
Fr. Dan Brubaker (Shippensburg, PA).
Brubaker collected the ball and calmly shot
it low into the corner. The third goal came from another diving header in the
34th minute when Snelgrove
took a free kick outside of the 18 yard box. The kick deflected off a Daemen
defender into the diving Fr. Steve Ross
(Auburn, NY) putting the ball in the back of the net.
The
Highlanders continued to dominate in the second half, but recorded only one goal
in the 76th minute when Fr. Jonathan
Brooks (Ottawa, Ontario) scored off a penalty kick.
Houghton will now travel to Ohio to contest #1 Rio Grande on Friday at 11:00 AM
at Rio Grande in the Region IX Semi-Final Match.
Houghton College
has deep
and
solid
roots in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, where our
teams use their commitment to excellence, both on the field-of-play
and
in the classroom, as a platform for their strong and
unique
emphasis on Sports Ministry. Their goal is to make a difference
for the Kingdom
on campus, in Allegany County,
in the Northeast and
around
the world.
Houghton is one of only 13 institutions who have been hand-selected
by the NAIA to serve as "Champions of Character" Program Centers, opening the door
for Houghton to be a leader,
both in the Northeast and
nationally, in character education.
Through hands-on,
innovative community outreach initiatives, Houghton coaches and
student-athletes
are working together to change the culture of sport and
to change our culture through sport.
