Yost's Long Ball Leads Men's Soccer Past Rosemont

Box Score

READING, Pa. - In another come from behind win, the Lions (5-2) with the help of junior midfielder #Mark Yost# were able to pick-up their third consecutive victory, defeating Rosemont College (0-6) by the final score of 2-1 Saturday afternoon at Shirk Stadium.

Yost gave his team the win with a 25 yard shot that found the upper right corner of the goal in just the ninth minute of Saturday's contest. No stranger to taking chances from distance, Yost found a perfect opportunity and completely caught Rosemont goalkeeper Nick Hulayew off guard.

Prior to the game-winner, it was #Shawn Murphy# who tied the game at 1-1. The hero of Thursday's win over Keystone, Murphy received a perfect cross from Yost on the far side of the goal. The freshman than took his time and drilled it home to claim his third goal of the season.

Despite the back-to-back goals, Saturday's game got off to a very rough start for the Lions. In only the second minute of the match, the red and white gave-up a goal to the Ravens. Ryan Hartzell took a wild shot that managed to deflect off an Albright defender and passed Lions' goalie #Ryan Barr# to put his team up 1-0.

That lead did not last however, as the Lions responded right back with their two goals, both of which were scored in less than two minutes.

On the day, the Lions offense totaled 14 shots, while the defense held the Ravens to just eight. A total of 20 fouls were called in the physical match-up, with Albright winning a majority of the battles.

A total of five corner kicks were taken, with four going to the red and white.

Men's Soccer will now take a much needed break from competition. The Lions will return to action on Wednesday when they travel to Goucher College for a 4 p.m. non-conference match.
