Seventh seeded Marywood scored four-straight goals and
stunned second seeded Frostburg State University with a 4-1 defeat
in semifinal action of the 2012 ECAC Men's Soccer South Region
Championship, Wednesday.
The Pacers (11-6-3) scored two goals in the first half and two more
in the second for a 4-0 cushion to secure a spot in the tournament
semifinals. Marywood now travels to top seed Penn State Behrend for
the semifinals that start on Saturday.
FSU, which advanced to the ECAC Tournament for the
second-consecutive season, finished 2012 with a 12-3-4 overall
record.
Marywood's Christian Lawlor (16:19) and Kris Kassell (34:44)
provided the offensive scoring in the opening half. Lawlor struck
for his second goal of the game just over five minutes into the
second half for a 3-0 lead. Ryan Jones found the net on a penalty
kick at 51:43 to cap the Pacers' evening.
The Bobcat senior tandem of Ryan
Russell and Shawn Baker
connected for one final time in their collegiate careers to help
avoid the shutout. Russell slid a long pass through the middle of
the Marywood defense to a charging Baker who beat keeper Shane
Quinn that closed the game's scoring at 4-1.
Both Quinn and Frostburg senior keeper Abiye
Jack finished with four saves each. Marywood held a
16-11 edge in shots, including an 11-6 edge in the second half.
