Men’s Soccer fights for draw in SUNYAC opener
OSWEGO, N.Y. — The Oswego Men’s soccer team took to the Laker Turf Saturday afternoon to open their conference schedule. The Fredonia Blue Devils travelled east to take on the Lakers. Action on the field started fast, in just the fourth minute a header off a Blue Devils corner kick got past Oswego keeper Matt D’Arpino to give the Blue Devils an early 1-0 lead. Only thirty seconds after the goal, the Lakers made their chances of winning that much harder. Liam Rothar would pick up a red card and drop Oswego down to 10 men for the next 85 minutes of game action. In the seventeenth minute Oswego’s Kyle Genrich single handedly brought the game to a tie. He would steal a pass between two defenders and be one on one with the goalie. He would place it in the bottom left corner, even though Fredonia’s goalie got finger tips on it, and the game would be tied at one. From then until the end of the half the the action slowed down a lot, and the team’s went to the half tied.
The second half of the game was much like the second half of the the first half, as lot of possession in the mid-field and back and forth, but no real chances on goal. A yellow card for Fredonia in the 61st minute drew the ire of the crowd who wanted the refs to give a straight red as they had earlier in the game. In the final ten minutes of the game, the teams started to pick up the pace once more. With seven to go in the game, Kyle Gehrich put one on goal from outside the 18 yard box, forcing a save from the keeper. From then on it was all Fredonia. They would keep the ball on the Oswego defensive half for the final six minutes. The Blue Devils got off six shots on four corner kicks but the defense held strong, and D’Arpino had a few key saves to keep the game tied at one. Gehrich was Oswego’s leading shot taker on the day with three, all being on goal. Matt D’Arpino would finish the day with three saves.
Both team’s would walk away with a single point for the standings, as under the new point system in the SUNYAC, a draw gives each team a point, a win gives three points, and a loss gives none. The point system only applies to SUNYAC matchups. The Lakers are now 2-3-1 (0-0-1 SUNYAC). The Lakers next matchup is against SUNY Brockport on Wednesday September 21 at 4:00 P.M. in Brockport.
