Clayton State men drop
2-1 double-overtime heartbreaker to Lander in PBC semifinals
Endres scores lone goal for 11-6-1 Lakers
  EVANS,
Ga. – November 6, 2009 – The opportunity for a Peach Belt
Conference championship and a possible NCAA Division II National
Tournament berth came to a heartbreaking conclusion for the Clayton
State Laker men’s soccer team in the Peach Belt Conference
Tournament on Friday.
Battling rival Lander tooth-and-nail for two overtimes, the Lakers
dropped a tough 2-1 decision to Lander in the PBC semifinals at
Blanchard Woods Park. Clayton State is now 11-6-1 overall, and the
Lakers still have a small chance at earning an NCAA Division II
postseason bid, which will be announced on Monday.
Clayton State took a 1-0 lead in the 23rd
minute when Brian Endres scored inside the penalty box off an assist
by Kyle Timm. However, Lander (12-5-1) got the equalizer in the 64th
minute with Aaron Britain scoring off a give-and-go assist by Adam
Arthur.
The game went into the second overtime before Lander’s Andy Ludewig
scored in the 106th
minute off an assist by Jamie Ramm.
Clayton State goalkeeper David Cristofoli recorded two saves, as did
Matthew Atkinson from Lander. The Lakers out-shot Lander 16-10. |
