Felician Athletics - Soccer (M)

BLOOMFIELD, N.J. -- The Felician men's soccer team defeated host Bloomfield College, 3-0, in CACC action at Watsessing Park on Thursday afternoon to earn its third consecutive victory.

Felician goalkeeper Paulo DosSantos (Toronto, Ontario) needed 10 saves for his first shutout of the season, as his team was outshot by Bloomfield, 19-12. DosSantos is among the top 10 nationally in NCAA Division II in saves per game. The win also kept the Golden Falcons (3-13-2, 2-5-1) alive in the race for the sixth and final playoff spot in the CACC.

TANDIR

PHILADELPHIA -- Three first-half goals by senior midfielder Armin Tandir (Bosnia) lifted Felician College to a 5-1 CACC men's soccer victory over host Chestnut Hill College on Saturday afternoon at CHC Field. The win was Felician's first in league play in 2007, and kept the Golden Falcons alive in the race for the CACC's final playoff berth.

Chestnut Hill (6-6-2, 1-5), a CACC newcomer and provisional Division II member, opened the scoring when Andrew Thorne (Nazareth, PA) tallied in the 17th minute. Tandir then took over, recording unassisted goals in the 26th and 33rd minutes to give his team the lead. With 3:04 remaining in the first period, Tandir struck again, with a chip shot which sailed just under the crossbar, and Felician led, 3-1, at intermission.

SNYDER

SNIHUR

RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Junior forward Peter Snihur (Ilawa, Poland/ Winchendon School [MA]) scored on a header with 0:02 left in regulation, lifting the Felician College men’s soccer team to a 1-0 non-conference victory over visiting Concordia (N.Y.) College on Wednesday night at Tryon Field. The win was the first in the collegiate head coaching career of Felician’s Patrick Snyder.

The winning sequence started when Concordia (4-10) was whistled for a foul about 45 yards from its goal line with 40 seconds to play. In defending Nash Townsend’s (Plainfield, NJ/Plainfield) free kick, the Clippers deflected a ball behind the goal line, setting up a Felician corner kick with 13 ticks showing on the clock. The Golden Falcons rushed to set up the play, and the kick by Jorge Cedeno (Lodi, NJ/Lodi) sailed to the middle of the goal mouth, where Snihur headed it past the keeper just before the final buzzer. It was Felician’s only shot attempt of the second half.
