No. 5 Spartans Use Second Half Surge to Top Blazers


Conor Prachar

YORK, Pa.--The Hood College men's soccer team (3-13, 1-7 CAC) hung with the No. 5 York College (Pa.) Spartans (13-1-4, 6-0-2 CAC) in the first half, but the hosts used a strong second half to earn a 3-0 victory and remain unbeaten in conference play.

Hood put up a valiant fight in its regular season finale against the Spartans, who have advanced to four straight NCAA tournaments. Despite being outshot 14-1 in the first period, the Blazers did not surrender a Spartan goal, becoming one of only nine opponents (three in the CAC) to make that claim this season. Hood's lone shot attempt of the contest came off the foot of Conor Prachar in the 28th minute.

Freshman keeper William Lane matched his career-high with 14 saves and allowed three goals, the fewest Hood has surrendered to the Spartans in five meetings (matches the effort of the 2006 squad in the CAC tournament).

YCP's Brett Sauerberger, Mike O'Connell and Antonio Bua all notched single tallies while netminders Ryan Hock and Kyle Connolly combined for the shutout.
