Box Score WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – The Lycoming College men’s soccer team defeated Marywood 4-0 on Sunday, Aug. 31, to claim the title at the Kickoff Classic. The Warriors finished the weekend tournament at 1-0-1.

“We looked like a different team today,” said head coach Scott Kennell. “We seemed a little flat yesterday in our tie with Centenary, but the guys really shook off the rust today.”

Lycoming got on the board in the seventh minute when junior Chris Lorenzet beat the keeper to the right side of the net from 15 feet out. Fellow junior Mike Coates was credited with an assist on the play.

The Warriors would add three more goals in second half, including two from senior captain Matt Frey. Frey first connected on a header in the 57th minute, catching the keeper out of position after a previous shot deflected off the crossbar and back into play. His second, a penalty kick goal, came in the 82nd minute.

Lorenzet added his second goal of the match in the final minute of play, shocking the crowd by dribbling between four defenders and beating the keeper for the unassisted tally.

Junior goalkeeper David Bald earned his first win and first shutout of the season while being credited with three saves.

Lycoming held a 16-6 advantage in shots, a 9-3 advantage in shots on goal and a 5-4 advantage in corner kicks.

The Warriors claimed the team title for the third-consecutive year, edging Centenary in a tie-breaker based on goal differential. Both teams finished at 1-0-1 on the weekend. Both teams allowed one goal during the tournament with Lycoming scoring five and Centenary scoring two. Marywood placed third at 1-1-0, followed by Alfred at 0-2-0.

Frey and Coates were joined by senior captain Joe Pusateri on the all-tournament team.

The Warriors will hit the road this weekend, traveling to Waynesburg on Saturday, Sept. 6. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.
