The Albertus Magnus College men's soccer program earned themselves a coveted spot in the GNAC title game, as a goal by junior forward Dan Dwyer handed them a 1-0 victory over conference foe Emerson College. The goal, which was assisted by senior midfielder James Lucchesi, was Dwyer’s third of the season, and the most important Falcon goal of the year.
The match took place on the Falcons’ home turf, Celentano Field in New Haven, Connecticut, on Wednesday October 31st. Albertus was able to control the game from the outset as they managed 16 total shots; double the amount totaled by the Lions. In addition to controlling the offensive side of the ball, the Falcons’ allowed zero goals in the match, earning themselves their ninth shutout of the season. Goalkeeper Donato Pirsocafo, needed to make only two saves in 90 minutes of play in goal for the Falcons, as he earned his 15th victory in net this year.
The Falcons now find themselves just one victory away from a GNAC title as they will take on the Cadets of Norwich University at Celentano Field, in New Haven, Connecticut on Saturday November 3rd, 2012. The contest will be a rematch of last year’s GNAC playoffs semifinal showdown, which saw the Cadets upset the Falcons 1-0, on a last second goal.
Every Falcon fan should be out in full support of the men's soccer program on Saturday as they attempt to capture a GNAC title! Remember everyone, Be Loud, Be Proud, Be Positive, and be there for the Falcons' GNAC Championship match!!!
