Felician Athletics - Soccer (M)

BROOKVILLE, N.Y. – Juniors Quincy Small (Guyana/Mackenzie) and Conrad Symber (South Amboy, NJ/Cardinal McCarrick) scored first half goals as the Felician College men’s soccer team defeated host Long Island University-C.W. Post, 2-0, in non-conference action Wednesday afternoon.

Small, a transfer from Globe Institute of Technology, collected a lead pass from Boris Shabovta (Manalapan, NJ/Dewey [NY]) and scored from 20 yards out in the 36th minute for the contest’s first goal and eventual game-winner. It was his first goal as a Golden Falcon. With fewer than three minutes remaining before halftime, a free kick deflected off a C.W. Post defender and found the foot of Symber, who chipped the ball under the crossbar.

COLCHESTER, Vt. -- Felician College senior goalkeer Paulo DosSantos (Toronto, Ont.) made a leaping save as the final horn sounded to preserve his team's 1-0 non-conference men's soccer victory over host Saint Michael's College in the final match of the DoubleTree Kick Off Classic on Saturday afternoon at Duffy Field.

The clocked stopped for an injury timeout with 7.8 seconds left in regulation, with the throw-in belonging to the hosts. The throw found the foot of an offensive player, and the ensuing shot had a chance to enter the upper right corner of the net before time expired. DosSantos left no doubt, batting the ball over the crossbar for his first shutout of the season. He finished with three saves.

8/22/08 MEN'S SOCCER - 2008 Outlook: Missed Playoff Berth Is Unspoken Motivator

Lukas Fraczek '09 is a three-time All-CACC selection on defense.

The fact that the Felician College men’s soccer team missed the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference playoffs last season could have been bulletin-board material for head coach Patrick Snyder in 2008 preseason workouts. But the second-year mentor says that tactic hasn’t been necessary.

“It’s an unspoken force every day -- it’s definitely the 500-pound gorilla in the room,” said Snyder, whose squad was eliminated from contention on the final day of the 2007 regular season. “Missing the playoffs hurt deep, not only for last year’s seniors, but for the veterans we have coming back to have to be a part of the first Felician team in nine years not to make it. It’s a big reason why our only tangible goal for the season is to reach the conference championship game.”
