Lions split pair

Sports Editor
Sunday's battle on the Penn
State-Behrend soccer field was a
huge game in the inaugural season
of AMCC play.
Frostburg State made the trip
from Maryland to play the Behrend
men's soccer team for the honor of
hosting the first AMCC conference
championship tournament.
Both teams entered the contest in
the midst of impressive seasons
and with identical 3-0 conference
records.
Frostburg State used an early
goal to put pressure on the Lions
offense on route to a 3-1 victory.
After falling behind in the first
half Coach Dan Perritano's troops
rallied midway through the second
half to make an exciting game of
it.
"It took us time to settle in but
once we did we prol,cd we can
compete with them [Frostburg
State]," said Coach Dan Perritano.
A Behrend threat to tie the game
at one went sour when an open
shot on goal slammed into the
corner post only to bounce away
for the Lions.

Frostburg State quieted the large
Homecoming crowd by scoring
their second goal of the game.
Freshman Josh Castillo
answered back moments later with
a spinning shot on goal from just
outside the 18-yard mark.
The goal by Castillo was his fifth
of the year and triggered a series of
Behrend shots on goal.
Unfortunately for the Lions the
Frostburg State goalie was able to
stop the remainder of the shots on
goal.
The loss dropped Behrend into
second place in the AMCC with a
3-1-conference record. The Lions
also fell to 10-5 on the season.
Despite the loss Perritano
maintained his confidence in his
team. "The only direction we will
head is north," said Perritano.
Perritano's kickers picked up
their tenth win of the season with a
1-0 victory over conference foe
Laßoche on Saturday.
The win assured Behrend of
their first back-to-back winning
seasons since 1977-78.
Captain Travis Lang provided
the Lions offense with his team
leading sixth goal of the year.
Lang also has seven assists this
year, tops on the Behrend team.

in AMCC men's soccer action
Freshman goalie Graham
Rudolph recorded his fifth shutout
of the year in the win.
The Lions defense has been a
key to their success throughout the
year.
The goalie combination of
Rudolph and Tommy Sieg has
registered six shutouts and allowed
just around 1.5 goals per game.
Two freshmen have joined Lang
to lead Behrend's offensive attack.
Both Josh Castillo and Chris
Lightner have contributed five
goals on the year.
Castillo has also dished out five
assists, while junior Ryan Croyle
has knocked home three goals.
The Lions will return to action
on the road October 25 when they
travel to Brockport University.
With three games remaining
before the AMCC tournament
Behrend will be looking to sharpen
their skills in preparation for
another showdown with Frostburg
State.
"Hopefully what we learn
between now and the tournament
will help us," said Perritano.
