ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. – In a place where they had won only one in 24 previous meetings, senior
Christian Woobay (Gaithersburg, Md./Quince Orchard) converted an 80
th-minute penalty kick to lift the Lycoming College men's soccer team to a 3-2 Landmark Conference win over Elizabethtown College on Saturday, Oct. 18, at Ira Herr Field.
Â
Woobay was fouled as he dribbled in the box, setting up the penalty kick, where he converted his fifth goal of the year and put the Warriors (4-6-4 overall, 1-3-2 Landmark) just two points behind Drew (8-3-2 overall, 2-2-1 Landmark) in the sixth and final conference championship slot with three games remaining in the regular season.
Â
First-year
Xavier Dandridge (Baltimore, Md./Archbishop Curley) got the Warriors on the board in the 37
th minute, firing a shot off the right crossbar and in after getting a long pass from senior
Chris Djadja (Gaithersburg, Md./Quince Orchard), dodging a pair of defenders en route.
Â
The Blue Jays (3-8-4 overall, 0-3-3 Landmark) countered in the 43
rd minute, but the Warriors took the lead back in the 53
rd minute, as junior
Aidan Stillman (Silver Spring, Md./Albert Einstein) fired in a corner kick that first-year
Jacob Wojciechowski (Newark, Del./Caravel Academy) headed in. Once again, Elizabethtown found an answer in the 58
th minute, but that's where the score stayed until Woobay's goal.
Â
Sophomore
Jace Bennett (Falling Waters, W.Va./Spring Mills) posted two saves in the win. Pedro Miranda stopped one for the Blue Jays, as he faced 13 Warrior shots.
Â
The Warriors get back on the field on Tuesday, Oct. 21, when they head to fifth-place Juniata College, for a 7 p.m. Landmark Conference game.
