Men's Soccer
Delaware Valley College 4, Immaculata
University 3
IMMACULATA (PA) - The streaks are over.
Jeremy Fennell scored with 2:43 remaining to cap a second-half rally
as the Delaware Valley College men's soccer team snapped a 37-game
losing streak and a 62-game winless streak with a 4-3 triumph at
Immaculata University.
It was the first collegiate victory for every player on the Aggie
roster and also the first for new head coach Brian Kammersgaard.
The Aggies were 0-60-2 during the streak with the last victory occurring
on November 1, 2003 when they ended that season with 1-0 triumph
at Wilkes University. The last match that they did not lose took
place exactly two years ago today with a 3-3 tie at home against
Moravian College on September 15, 2005.
Down 3-1, Delaware Valley (1-6) scored three times in the final
12 minutes for the victory. The last goal came off a corner kick
that went across the box near the far post. Eric Maciag, who had
a game to remember, headed the ball back towards the opposite post
and it looked like it might find the net. However, Fennell didn't
wait to find out as the sophomore headed the ball himself into the
net for a 4-3 triumph. The Aggies then watched the final seconds
tick off the clock, setting off a wild celebration on the field.
The Aggies took a 1-0 lead just 7:36 into the contest as Maciag
scored off a feed from Nathan Knight. However, the Mighty Macs (2-2)
notched the next three goals as Kevin Glenn, Bryan Foster and Kieran
Keeland found the net for a 3-1 lead at the intermission.
It stayed a 3-1 game until Delaware Valley's Matt Dias scored on
a breakaway with 11:48 remaining. Maciag tied the contest with 5:08
to go with Knight picking up his second assist of the game. That
set the stage for Fennell's heroics in the waning moments.
Delaware Valley managed just eight shots in the game compared to
20 by Immaculata. Senior Nick D'Amato stopped eight shots for his
first collegiate win in net. Jimmy Casper and Stone Gahagan each
played a half in net for the Mighty Macs with Casper credited with
one save.
