CACC NOTES
Caldwell - The Cougars opened the 2008 campaign in New Hampshire,
defeating St. Anselm College 2-1 on Aug. 28, before falling to
Southern New Hampshire 3-0 on Aug. 30. Senior defender Kagiso
Rhenoster scored the gamewinning goal in the 74th minute against
St. Anselm. Freshman forward Jonathan Costa also found the net at
St. Anselm for his first career goal.
Felician - Felician's 1-0 victory at Saint Michael's on Saturday
was its first win over a Northeast-10 Conference opponent since
Sept. 25, 2004, a 2-1 home triumph over Bryant (0-14-3 in that
stretch). Senior GK Paulo DosSantos batted a shot over the crossbar
an instant before the final horn sounded to preserve the win.
Senior M Boris Shabovta was named to the all-tournament team of the
Saint Michael's DoubleTree Kick Off Classic. In
Friday's 2-1 loss to Merrimack, he assisted on the Golden Falcons'
only goal and made a "team save" to preserve what was then a 1-1
tie.
Holy Family - The Holy Family men's soccer team is 0-2 after the
first weekend of the season. The young Tigers opened the season
with a 2-0 loss to Millersville on August 28 in the Wilmington
(Del.) Tournament. On August 29, Le Moyne defeated Holy Family,
4-0. This week, Holy Family will have its home opener against #7
East Stroudsburg University on Wednesday, September 3. Then, the
team will hold the Holy Family Classic on September 6 and 7. The
Tigers face the University of the District of Columbia on Saturday
and the College of Saint Rose on Sunday.
Philadelphia - The Rams entered NCAA Division II and CACC play with a tough overtime loss to Millersville in the Wilmington University Tournament. The Rams could not find the back of the net through two periods and the Marauders took the win just minutes into the extra stanza.
