Nachman Collects Three Points as No. 7 Men's Soccer Downs Ithaca 2-0 in Empire 8 Action
HOBOKEN, N.J. (September 29, 2007) – Junior defenseman Jason Nachman notched a goal and an assist (three points) on Saturday afternoon at the De Baun Athletic Complex as the seventh-ranked Stevens Institute of Technology men’s soccer team rolled to a 2-0 victory against Empire 8 rival Ithaca College. With the win, the Ducks improved to 8-0-2 on the year with a 2-0 mark in conference play, while the Bombers dropped to 5-4 with a league record of 0-2.
Stevens reached the scoreboard first in the 21st-minute when sophomore forward Terrance Johnson scored on a breakaway off a long ball pass from Nachman. Then, in the 52nd-minute, Nachman punched a ball into the right side of the net off a corner kick from junior midfielder Jeremy Lippel.
Freshman goalkeeper Zach Carr made three saves on the afternoon for the Ducks. One of the stops came on a penalty kick attempt with less than six minutes remaining in the second half. His counterpart, junior Andy Wilhelm (Ellicott City, Md.), turned a game-high seven shots aside for the Bombers.
Head Coach Tim O’Donohue and his squad continue their five-game home swing this Monday when the Ducks host the Cougars of Kean University. Kick-off is slated for 8 p.m. and all of the action can be seen at www.Empire8.tv.
