The men's soccer team had
overcome harsh weather conditions
and a tough Altoona squad to advance
to the AMCC finals against Pitt-
Greensburg.
They defeated Altoona in a shootout
session, 3-2, that junior goalkeeper
Jake Hordych described as "the most
emotional game i've ever been a part
of in his career." The Lions had
overcome a very horendous start to end
up in this position.
However, last Friday the team had
to travel to Pitt-Greensburg, what had
only been defeated once this season.
The team battled with all it had, but
fell just short in a 2-1 overtime loss.
The Lions showed great resiliency

as they played hard throughout the
game and would not quit. In the end,
Greensburg was just too much for
Behrend to handle.
Senior defenseman Matt MacArthur
felt a certain amount of satisfaction as
he ended his tenure on the team.
"This was a tough, physical game,
but I was happy that we could make it
this far this season, said MacArthur.
"This was a great group of guys that I
played with this year, and I had fun."
The Lions are disappointed about the
final outcome, but cannot be
disappointed with their effort in this
game. They played with a very tough
team and lost by just a single goal.
MacArthur will not be returning next
year, but he feels that the team has much
to look forward to.
"The team was very strong for having
an end
this many freshmen, but they will
continue to be strong next season as
players will mature and get better,"
said MacArthur. "I just wish I could
keep playin,."added MacArthur.
Having such a young team will
bring experience to the team next
year. These young players went
through many lows, as well as highs
during the season. They started the
season 1-6-2 through the first nine
games and finished it with a record
of 8-10-4.
The season came to a disappointing
culmination last Friday, however the
Blue and White have nothing to be
ashamed of. They went from a team
in ruins to within one point of winning
the AMCC championship.
