CAMPBELL 2
NORTH CAROLINA 0 Surging Campbell won its ninth straight game when it beat state rival North Carolina, 2-0, before 1,187 fans Tuesday night in Buies Creek. The result would be considered
an upset except for the fact that the Camels knocked off No. 7 UNC for the third year in a row.
Senior
Richard Jata scored the game-winning goal in
his fifth-straight match, and
Vince Petrasso added his fifth strike of the season for Campbell.
Aaron Johnson, who
made two spectacular stops in the second half, registered his fourth consecutive shutout.
REACTION: "North Carolina is an excellent team
and I have huge respect for the way they play," said Camel coach
Doug Hess. "That being said, I feel like our team was committed to the way we had to
play tonight on both sides of the ball. We made the opportunities we had count, and collectively kept it out of our goal."
LOYOLA (ILL.) 0
NORTHWESTERN 1 No. 5 Northwestern responded from its first loss of the season by posting a hard-fought win at Loyola (Ill.). Senior
Brian Usinger's second-half goal on a header was the difference. Loyola played the final seven minutes one man down after
Tim
Puttkammer picked up his second yellow card of the match following a hard foul on
Peter O'Neill.
CINCINNATI
1 SOUTH FLORIDA 0 Junior
Paul Hoste beat USF goalkeeper
Jeff Attinella in the 50th minute for his first
collegiate goal to decide the Big East match played in chilling temperatures. The win over the No. 12 Bulls was the first of the year for Cincinnati, which has now won four of its last five games
to move within one win of the .500 mark.
REACTION: "The defense has played really well of late," said Cincinnati coach
Hylton Dayes, who pulled in to a tie for second all-time with
Jim McDowell for career victories at UC with his 72nd. "They played as a
unit and shut out one of the top forwards in the league in
Jordan Seabrook."
PITTSBURGH 2 CONNECTICUT 2 (OT) UConn junior
Toni Stahl scored his first goal of the season with 13 seconds left
in regulation to tie the score. Pittsburgh led twice on goals by
Mike McDade and
Ian Farnsworth, but UConn twice
came back on goals set up by freshman
Tony Cascio. Junior
Joe Boa had the first Husky goal.
BRADLEY 1 BUTLER 2 Sophomore
Ben Sippola broke a 1-1 tie with the winning goal in the 42nd minute. The host Braves
jumped in front in the 21st minute on a goal by
Graham Stockdale, but Butler answered 13 minutes later when
Boris
Gatzky dribbled through the defense and blasted a shot past Bradley goalkeeper
Kyle Orne.
DUKE 1 COLGATE
0 Sophomore
Nick Sih scored in the 79th minute for the Blue Devils, who have not allowed a goal in the past four games, spanning 386 minutes.
Rookie
Jan Trnka-Amhrein earned his first career start in the goal to hold off the Raiders, who matches the Blue Devils in shots with 11.
VILLANUEVA BREAKOUT. Just two years,
Jonathan Villanueva was considered one of the country's top prospects, but he was
quiet this season until Virginia's match Tuesday against American. Villanueva, now a junior, played a part in each of the Cavaliers' four goals, leading them past AU, 4-2. Villanueva scored his
first two goals of the season and assisted on two more.
