Thornton header lifts Warriors past Greyhounds

BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Freshman Kevin Kelly (Great Barrington, Mass./Bershire School) posted his second straight shutout and senior Nick Thornton (Wexford, Pa./North Allegheny) headed in the game-winning goal in the seventh minute of overtime to lead the Lycoming College men's soccer team to a 1-0 victory over Moravian College in non-conference action on Tuesday, Oct. 1 at John Makuvek Field.
 
Sophomore Tajhon Willis (Edgewood, Md./Joppatowne) sent a corner kick near the top of the box, allowing sophomore Colin Wieand (Elizabethtown, Pa./Elizabeth Area) to redirect the ball to Thornton, who beat the keeper left with a header from five yards out. The golden goal gave the senior defender the first of his career.
 
The Warriors' backline of Wieand, Thornton and freshman Brayden Wise (Baltimore, Md./Archbishop Curley) helped the Warriors (6-4 overall) control possession for most of the game, allowing seven shots to Lycoming's 21, with one of Moravian's shots coming on goal. 
Willis led Lycoming with a game-high five shots and sophomore Kalu Ume (Laurel, Md./Laurel) and junior Josh Cruz (Laurel, Md./Eleanor Roosevelt) took three each.
 
Kelly finished with one save and Michael Bone made five stops for Moravian (7-2-1 overall).
 
The Warriors are back in action on Saturday, Oct. 5 at 3:30 p.m. for their MAC Commonwealth opener against Widener University at UPMC Field on Homecoming Weekend.
