goal. |
September 20, 2011 West Deptford, NJThe Gloucester
CC Men’s Soccer Team scored a dramatic 3-2 win this afternoon
against visiting Atlantic CC. After falling behind 2-0 in the
first thirty minutes of play the Roadrunners offense kicked into
gear and goalkeeper Rich Dott took over on the defensive end. A
key moment in the game came in the 40th minute when
freshman Fran Smith fed a smooth cross that sophomore Fran Crane
directed firmly into the corner of the goal off his right foot.
This goal gave GCC momentum heading into halftime and they
dominated the last five minutes of the half.
ACCC created some opportunities early in the second half but
the goalkeeping for GCC was very strong. Dott made two diving
saves and broke up a breakaway by aggressively coming out of the
goal and knocking the ball away from the ACCC forward. The
Roadrunners scored the tying goal when Shayne Feriod backheeled
a goal into net on a pass from Ryan Novzen in the 80th
minute of the game. The winning goal came with less than a
minute left and Brandon Brennan sent in a long cross that Dan
Reed stretched out for and drilled a head ball into the net. It
was a dramatic win and hopefully will open up the floodgates for
more wins for the 2-5 Roadrunners. GCC has now won 2 of their
last 3 games after a tough start. They play next at Ocean CC on
Thursday at 4pm.
