Box Score

Behind two goals from Tyler Waters, the Albright College men's soccer team defeated visiting Penn College 4-1, Thursday at Shirk Stadium.

#Vitali Zaluha# and Adam Toroniewski also scored in the game against a Penn College team that tasted defeat for just the 15th time in six years.

Waters gave Albright an early 1-0 lead for third consecutive contest, scoring the most impressive goal of Albright's season so far. His 35-yard blast from the left side snuck inside the far post, giving the goalkeeper no chance.

Less than a minute later, Zaluha made it 2-0 after converting a breakway. He nearly broke free again off a nice pass from Waters but the offsides flag went up.

Waters scored his second of the day in the 40th minute, skipping through the defense and lifting a shot over the goalkeeper. Albright's fourth came off a Mark Yost free kick in the second half, which was flicked by #Chris Bucks# and volleyed in by Toroniewski.

Bucks nearly converted on a bicycle kick from close range midway through the first half, but put it just wide left.

Albright may have dodged a bullet in the 35th minute, when goalkeeper Billy Howard had to come out on a Penn College break and tripped up the man just outside the penalty area. The official only gave a yellow card however, and the Wildcats put the ensuing free kick chance wide.

Penn College did grab themselves a good team goal early in the second half. Matteo Frazzoni slid a ball out wide to Mitchell Pequinot, whose cross was headed in by a diving Christopher Brennan.

It was all the Wildcats could muster however, while the Lions kept pressing forward. Freshman #Joe Carrubba# ripped a shot off the crossbar, and sophomore Chris Bette forced PCT's Aaron Volz into a nice save from the left side.

The Lions improve to 5-1 and will host regionally-ranked Manhattanville on Saturday at 6 PM.
