Box Score WASHINGTON, D.C. – It was a physical
men's soccer game on Thursday evening at Hotchkiss Field between
Gallaudet University and visiting Lancaster Bible College. The
Chargers (8-6) got the best of the Bison (1-11) as the visitors
scored a quick goal to set the tone en route to a 4-0 shutout. The
two teams combined to commit 32 fouls (16 apiece) in the scrappy
game on the pitch.
Sophomore forward Cory Greiser scored the game's first two goals
as the Chargers outshot the Bison 18-6 in the first half. Greiser's
first goal came 47 seconds into the game. A Lancaster shot was
saved by junior goalie Poloko
Qobose (Gaborone, Botswana) but was quickly mishandled
and dropped in front of the left post where Greiser was positioned
to knock home the ball. His second mark came in the 36th minute as
junior midfielder Lawrence Lartey (one goal, one assist) made a
nice save by the near sideline and sent a nice pass to Greiser, who
buried the shot from 25 yards out past Qobose. Lartey added his own
goal 16 seconds before the half as the Chargers led 3-0 at the
break.
In the second half, both teams emptied their benches as a lot of
reserves saw valuable time. The Chargers netted their final goal of
the game in the 54th minute when senior forward Kyle Zook converted
on a penalty kick.
Gallaudet was held without a shot in the final 45 minutes of
play. Lancaster Bible finished the game with 29 shots and six
corner kicks. The Bison only took two corner kicks.
Qobose finished the game with 11 saves and left after 73 minutes
of play. Freshman Jordan
Ramser (Louisville, Ky.) closed out the game where he
made one save. Lancaster Bible junior goalie Jarrod Bergey (two
saves) earned the win in net for the Chargers.
Gallaudet is off this weekend but will lace up the boots again
on Monday, October 11, and travel to Front Royal, Va., to play
Christendom College. The two teams met back on September 29 here in
the nation's capital as Christendom won 5-1.
