Box Score
Houghton, N.Y.—The
University of Rochester Yellowjackets swarmed
all over the Houghton
College men’s soccer
team, scoring two goals
in each half to take a
4-0 decision at Burke
Field Friday night.
Steve Welles
and J.J. Dennstedt
teamed up for
Rochester’s first two
goals. At 29:48 the
Yellowjackets took a
corner kick that
ricocheted off several
players in the penalty
area before coming to
Dennstedt who tapped it
to Welles for an easy
putaway and a 1-0 lead.
With 45
seconds left in the
first half, the pair
struck again. Dennstedt
had the ball on a
two-on-one breakway, but
was effectively
maneuvered to the left
side of the penalty area
by a Houghton defender.
Dennstedt turned and
dropped a pass to the
top of the box where
Welles joined the play
and hit a low hard shot
just inside the left
post.
Any thoughts
the Highlanders had of
coming back were snuffed
out less than five
minutes into the second
half when the
Yellowjackets scored
again. Houghton
Goalkeeper Erik Lefebvre
parried aside a low shot
with a flick of his left
foot, but the rebound
went right to
Rochester’s Jeremy Mann,
who sent it in.
Cliff White
completed the scoring at
the 74-minute mark when
he scooped up a loose
ball at midfield and
broke in alone on
Lefebvre. As the
goalkeeper came out,
White sent the ball past
him to the corner and
the score was 4-0.
Rochester
dominated the stat.
sheet as well, earning
13 corners to none for
Houghton and outshooting
the Highlanders 14-5.
Rochester goes to
11-2-1. Houghton
is 7-3-4 and will play
again on Tuesday at
Daemen College at 3:30.
