Lakewood, NJ (11/6/10)  The third-seeded Dominican College men's soccer team won the 2010 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Men's Soccer Championship by winning their third shootout of the tournament after winning 4-2 in penalty kicks over the top-seeded Deacons of  Bloomfield College this afternoon in a game played at Georgian Court University.

The tie puts the Chargers overall record at 12-3-5 on the season.

Dominican took a 1-0 lead at the 21:18 mark as sophomore forward Alex Rodier (Williamstown, NJ) netted his team leading 10th goal of the season off the assist from the CACC Rookie of the Year, Sony Narro (Stamford, CT).

Bloomfield tie the contest late in the 39th minute on an own goal.  The Deacons took a 2-1 lead at 73:17 on a rebounded ball after a Charger keeper save.

DC tied the game at 2-2 on an own goal of their own after a corner kick and a scramble in the box.

After two scoreless overtime periods, the game went into the shootout where Bloomfield converted their first kick.  Rodier started things off for the Chargers after converting his penalty kick to tie the shootout at 1-1.

The Deacons put their second kick in the net and sophomore Pedro Franklin De Araujo (Campinas-SP, Brazil) answered by putting his shot in the net.

Following a Bloomfield miss, Narro followed with a good kick to give Dominican a 3-2 advantage.

A second missed shot by the Deacons put freshman Jorge Zubillaga (Uruguay) up for the potential shootout winner and he successfully put the ball in the net to secure the 2010 CACC Championship with the 4-2 shootout victory.

Junior goalie Brandon Heembrock (Ottawa, Canada) made eight saves during the game and two key diving saves in the shootout, just two days after making four penalty kick saves in a semi-final win over Philadelphia University. The Chargers also recorded a shootout victory in the quarter-finals over defending tournament champion, Nyack College. Heembrock was named Tournament MVP for his performance.
