Behrend was victorious on Wednesday the 18th over Lake Erie by a 4-0 score, and then they followed up with a 5-2 win at Brockport on Saturday, October 21. After a slow start to the season, Behrend has now won 5 out of their last 7 games, turning around what could have been a disappointing season. The match up with Lake Erie turned out to be a mismatch for Behrend, as they dominated the whole way through against their AMCC opponent. James Martin began the scoring, with Mime Fry assisting, in the 35th minute of the contest, and then 15 minutes after halftime, Martin added his sth goal of the season to give the team a 2-0 lead. Ryan Ohl then followed up with his sth goal this season, on an assist from Dan Falk, 10 minutes later as Behrend continued to roll against Lake Erie. Sophomore Steve Danch finished up the scoring with his 2nd goal of the season in the 86th minute. Martin also had an assist on Danch’s goal. Tommy Sieg had a fairly easy day in goal, as he only had to stop 3 shots to record the shutout. Behrend on the other hand took 15 shots on goal against Lake Erie, who have struggled this season to say the least with a 1-9 record. The men’s team then played an afternoon game over in Brockport, NY, defeating them 5-2. Behrend jumped out right away when local native Dave Kowalczyk scored just 1 minute into the game. Falk, who assisted on the play, then added his own score a few minutes later to give Behrend an early 2-0 lead. Junior defenseman Chad Droz assisted on Falk’s goal for his first point of the season. After a Brockport goal, Falk came back with his 4th goal of the season, with an assist from Martin, to seal the win for Behrend. Brockport was able to come back with their second score right before halftime to cut Behrend’s lead to 3-2, but that was as close as they would come. Kowalczyk scored his 6th goal of the season, with help from Mark Szewczykowski, in the 52nd minute of play to give Behrend some assurance. Later on, Mike Fry wouldadd his team leading 7th goal, for a team leading 15 points, in the 61st minute to seal the victory. Just like Droz, freshmen Kris Bauer, out of McDowell High School, assisted on Fry’s goal for his first point this season, and just like Droz, Bauer is also part of a solid backfield for ATTENTION SENIORS SENIOR SALUTE DAYS PURCHASE YOUR CAP 4 SOWN ORDER YOUR CLASS RINS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2000 Behrend Sieg was again in goal, and only had to make 3 saves to do his part for the win. Behrend again was dominating over their opponent, as they were able to convert their 5 goals on just 12 shots. Brockport was able to get seven shots off, but it wasn’t enough as Behrend rolled to their Bth win this season. After a Wednesday away game against Case Western, the men’s soccer team finishes up their season with a 3 pm home game versus Buffalo State on Halloween day, Tuesday the 31st.
