See this photo at www.Newsphoto.com A large crowd, including children in the GC Centennials soccer program, had the pleasure of watching the Adelphi Panthers men's soccer team play host to the Princeton Tigers on Wednesday evening October 8 at Adelphi University's Outdoor Sports Complex. The Panthers took an early 1-0 lead, when Kemalie Preston moved through the Princeton defense and passed the ball to a waiting Patrick Figueiredo who sent it past Princeton goalie Sean Lynch. While Adelphi was able to hold the Tigers off for the first half, Princeton answered back in the second half when Freshman Antoine Hoppenot tallied his first career goal at 63:08 to tie the game for Princeton. The game was sent into overtime when neither team was able to score again by the end of regulation. 2:59 into the overtime period Adelphi was pressuring the Princeton defense when Adelphi's Kris Nosworthy was dragged down in the box, earning a penalty kick. Figueiredo took the shot, slipping it past Lynch, giving the Panthers the 2-1 victory. The win raises Adelphi's overall record to 6-4, while Princeton drops to 2-7-1. Panther's goalkeeper Thorne Holder made eight saves in the win, while Lynch picked up one for Princeton, who out shot Adelphi 18-10.
