READING, Pa – Albright College men's soccer bid farewell to five seniors and to the 2014 season with a 2-0 loss at the hands of Commonwealth Conference opponent Arcadia University Tuesday night at Shirk Stadium.

The Lions finish the season with a 6-12-1 record overall and a 1-7 mark in conference play. The Knights improve to 9-5-2 on the season and 4-2-1 in the conference currently in third place in the commonwealth.

Seniors; Shawn Murphy, Austin Marich, Kenny Horning, Vitali Zaluha and Chris Bucks were honored with a ceremony before play began and were in the starting line-up as they played in their last games at Albright on Tuesday.

Albright keeper Austin Aldinger made five saves in the first 45 minutes, to keep a very physical contest scoreless at the half.  

The Knights opened the scoring early in the second half when Arcadia forward and leading scorer Bradley Mckim was taken down inside the box and the Knights were awarded a penalty kick just over a minute into second stanza.

Alex Wells knocked the penalty off the left post and across into the back of the net for the games' first goal.

Chris Watson who has started the final three games without allowing a goal for Arcadia was strong in the box as the Lions kept venturing forward. Junior Anthony Daub was a menace in the box all night for the Lions directing three shots at the goal and forcing Watson to make one of his two saves in the contest.

Zaluha who has missed the past two matches with a knee injury played into the second half but had to be replaced midway through the second stanza. Zaluha ends his Albright career with 23 goals and 10 assists for 56 points and is the first Albright player ever to be named to First Team All-ECAC South.

Arcadia put the game away when Ricardo Margolles sent in Zach Pina who scored with only 13 ticks left on the clock.

Aldinger finished the season with 16 career victories and is only one short of the Albright record of 17 currently held by Jim Sweeney who played from 1994-97.
