Page 10 - The Behrend College Collegian Thursday, October 2,1997 Men's soccer team drops heartbreaker to Buffalo State by Matt Plizga Sports Editor The Behrend men's soccer team suffered a crushing defeat on Monday dropping their season record to six wins and three losses. The Lions traveled to Buffalo State to face a struggling program with a one win and four-loss season, only to watch their own promising season start to fade. The 5-3 defeat will undoubtedly drop them out of the regional rankings, but may help them in the long run. "It is a total team concern, it's our entire team that needs to find a way to compete consistently," said Coach Dan Perritano.

Freshman Chris Lightner and senior Ryan Ruta each scored a goal for Behrend. Lightner's goal came after a crossing pass by another freshman Josh Castillo. The win gave Behrend a 2-0 record in the conference and left them in control of their own chances for the AMCC crown with just two conference battles left to play. - We need to compete. We are in search of a will to battle consistently," said Perritano. An overall record of 6-3 is anything but bad considering the Lions have 18 new players, but the players and coaches will not rest on past achievements. "We lost to a couple of teams that if we would have competed, we could have had some success," said Perritano. Behrend will finally return home this Saturday when they face Mount Union. Kick-off will be at one o'clock. "Hopefully we will get a total team effort for the whole 90 minutes and get back on the winning track," said sophomore Chris Kennelly.
