| 10.06.07 - Playing
before a boisterous Homecoming crowd, the Foresters responded with a
well-played 1-0 victory over Rochester College to notch their first
shutout of the season.
After finishing the
first half in a scoreless tie, HU finally broke through with a score
just two minutes into the second half. Dustin Shafer netted the
eventual game-winner off a redirection from Jason Metzger from six
yards out to give the Foresters the lead. HU outworked them in the box
and after numerous opportunities were able to put one past the
talented Warrior keeper.
"We generated some
golden opportunities today off some timely combination play from our
mids and strikers," said Coach Lawson. "I was pleased to see
that for the second straight game we forced their keeper to make
terrific saves. Defense was rock solid and very dependable as our back
four stayed compact and Kevin kept a tidy box for our first clean
sheet."
The win moves the Foresters to
6-6 on the season. |
