1999 Season Stories
BALLANTYNE DEBUTS FOR NATIONAL TEAM St. Lawrence University junior soccer star Jamal Ballantyne made his national team debut for the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Football Federation in a game against Barbados in preparation for the semifinal round of the 2002 FIFA World Cup.
Ballantyne, who was the second-leading scorer for the NCAA Division III national champion and undefeated soccer team last fall with seven goals and 11 assists, entered the game against the Barbados National Team at the 32nd minute of the first half.
His speed and passing ability set up several one-on-one chances with the goaltender for his teammates and he assisted on the game's lone goal at the 62nd minute mark as he set up Alwyn Guy for the game winner. The St. Vincent and the Grenadines National Team, undefeated at home, will play Jamaica on July 16.
DUROCHER NAMED NSCAA DIVISION III COACH OF THE YEAR
St. Lawrence University men's soccer coach Bob Durocher, who led his team to a perfect season and the NCAA Division III championship in the fall of 1999, has been named NCAA Division III National Coach of the Year by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America at its annual convention.
Durocher, who has been conference coach of the year in each of the last five seasons and NSCAA Regional Coach of the Year in both 1998 and 1999 becomes the fourth St. Lawrence coach to win a national coaching award and the second in the 1990s. Wrestling coach John Clark was national coach of the year in 1988, Saint men's hockey coach Joe Marsh was national coach of the year in 1989 and women's lacrosse coach Dotty Hall earned national coach of the year honors in 1990.
The Saints went 22-0-0 en route their first men's national soccer title this fall and have the nation's longest unbeaten streak in any Division in soccer at 42 games in a row. SLU was the first team to go undefeated and untied en route the Division III crown.
Durocher won his 100th career game in the opening round of the NCAA tournament and has a career record of 104-48-17 in ten seasons at St. Lawrence. His teams have won 90 games, lost 21 and tied 12 in the last six seasons and have made four consecutive post-season appearances including three NCAA berths.
His teams have produced a number of All Americas in recent years, including two first team players on the national All America squad this season. Ali Montacer was a first team All America and senior Dan Annan, Jr., was named first team All America and was named the NCAA Division III Player of the Year by the NSCAA earlier last week.
ANNAN NAMED NSCAA/ADIDAS PLAYER OF THE YEAR
St. Lawrence midfielder Dan Annan Jr. has been named the 1999 Men's Division III Player of the Year by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. The award was announced Thursday at the NSCAA annual convention and is sponsored by Adidas.
Annan, a senior captain from Staten Island, NY, led the Saints to the national championship and a perfect 22-0-0 record in 1999. The Saints became the first team to go unbeaten and untied in winning the Division III NCAA title.
Annan compiled two goals and six assists in 1999 and finished his career as a Saint with 20 goals and 21 assists for 61 points. He was an all-conference selection each of his four years at St. Lawrence earning UCAA Player of Year honors this year. He was named a first-team All-America selection along with fellow midfielder Ali Montacer for his efforts this past fall.
FOUR SAINT SOCCER PLAYERS EARN ALL AMERICA HONORS
St. Lawrence University's roster of players who have earned national All America honors in men's soccer nearly doubled with the announcement of the 1999 NSCAA/adidas Division III All America team Thursday.
Junior Ali Montacer, a third-team All America selection last season, was a first team choice this year while senior midfielder and captain Dan Annan joined him on the first team.
It is the first time the Saints have had two first-team All America selections on the national team in the same year.
Junior forward Ryan Carruth, the Saint scoring leader, was named second team All America while senior back Nick Hillary also earned a second team spot.
SAINTS PLACE NINE ON ALL CONFERENCE TEAM;
Nine members of St. Lawrence University's 1999 NCAA Champion soccer team were named to the Upstate Collegiate Athletic Association all star team Friday, and the Saints took three of the four major conference awards.
Saint coach Bob Durocher was named conference coach of the year for the sixth straight season after guiding his team to the UCAA title, a 22-0-0 record and the NCAA title. Senior midfielder Dan Annan was named the conference's Player of the Year, while senior back Nick Hillary was named the Defensive Player of the Year.
Hillary and Annan were joined as first team UCAA selections by back Mike Berner, a senior, forward Ryan Carruth, a junior and junior midfielder Ali Montacer. Defender Tim Bealer, forward Jamal Ballantyne, forward Scott Dulay and midfielder Matt Bogosian were chosen for the second team and midfielder Alan Maragh was an honorable mention choice.
SAINTS WIN NCAA TITLE WITH 2-0 WIN OVER WHEATON
A team that junior scoring leader Ryan Carruth called "a cornucopia of personalities" received a hero's welcome upon its return to Canton and St. Lawrence University Sunday afternoon, and if the magnitude of their accomplishment had not yet sunk in, as several of the Saint soccer players had said in transit on Sunday, it started to when the Saints were greeted by a host of fans, a police and fire department escort and a parade through the heart of downtown to celebrate a national championship.
The 1999 Saints completed a perfect season in front of an overflow crowd of 2300 fans at Wheaton College Saturday night, riding two first half goals and a stellar defensive effort to a 2-0 win over host Wheaton for the NCAA Division III men's soccer championship. The Saints became the first NCAA Division III team to complete an unbeaten, untied season en route the national championship. It was the third NCAA championship in St. Lawrence history and the first to be earned via a championship game victory as the 1976 men's swim team and the 1988 men's wrestling team won titles in championship meets. It also maintained a 12-year cycle for Saint championships as the swim team won in March of the 1975-76 academic year and the wrestling team, which coincidentally won its championship at Wheaton, won in March of the 1987-88 academic year.
The title completed a perfect run for the Saints as the championship game victory was the 22nd straight win in the 1999 season. The Saints maintain the longest unbeaten streak of any team in college soccer with a 40-0-2 run which dates back to the final game of the 1997 season.
"It really is a tribute to the dedication and desire of the players…" Bob Durocher said of the title and the streak. "To go unbeaten…particularly to go unbeaten and untied in the sport of soccer…takes some luck and a lot of ability, and we had some luck to go with the ability. But when it came to the games at Wheaton, the guys executed the game plans nearly perfectly and beat two very good soccer teams.
"This is something you dream about," Durocher added. "It is always in the back of your mind as a player and as a coach. And I am sure the players on this team share the accomplishment with our recent soccer alumni. The chance to play in our fourth tournament in five years was set up by the teams in 1995 and 1996 and the experience of going into the quarterfinals last season certainly helped prepare us to go all the way this year."
Durocher's teams have won 90 games in the last six seasons, but there probably have not been as satisfying a set of wins as the run through the 1999 NCAA tourney. The Saints outscored the five tournament opponents 12-2 and did not allow a goal after the regionals.
The Saints earned their spot in the title game with a Friday afternoon semifinal victory over Alma (Mich.) in which the Saints dodged an early bullet and then dominated play.
"We wanted to get out to a quick start…and that certainly wasn't it," said Durocher after slips by both a Saint defender and goalie Brendan Murphy gave Alma scoring leader Jeff Hosler a shot at an empty goal, but Hosler's shot banged off the goal post and the Saint defense was able to clear the ball in the opening 20 seconds of the game.
The Saints started to take control shortly after that frightening start, and after several good chances ended up in saves or goal kicks, they broke the ice off a corner kick. The initial kick was sent to the top of the box where it was controlled by back Mike Berner, who passed the ball to sophomore Matt Bogosian, who found himself unmarked in the middle of the penalty area. Bogosian trapped the pass, took two steps and snapped a shot along the ground which beat Alma goalie John Cullen cleanly at 34:54.
Saint captain Dan Annan started the second scoring play for the Saints just 8:24 into the second half as he fed Jamal Ballantyne at the top of the penalty area. Ballantyne, who set a single season record for assists, broke toward Cullen, freezing the goalie, and sent a perfect cross pass to Scott Dulay at the far post and Dulay chipped his eighth of the year into the net at the 53:24 mark.
"I thought we did a good job of controlling the middle of the field, and they gave us a lot of space to work with. The nice thing is that we were able to get a lead and then give some guys some rest. Our bench did an excellent job…Matt Bogosian came off the bench and scored the game-winner for us, and Vince Dalpiaz, who hasn't played in quite a while, came in and gave us a solid 15-minutes in the middle. Our depth let us play a lot of guys and that helped us stay fresh for the championship game."
Saint goalie Murphy finished the game with two saves, both in the second half, while Cullen had five for Alma. The Saints' speed set the stage for the championship win over Wheaton, and after SLU built a 2-0 first half lead, the defense did the rest.
"St. Lawrence has a fast team, and we didn't match up well from the beginning," said veteran Wheaton coach Joe Bean.
The Saints got the fast start Durocher was looking for on Friday in the Saturday title game as Annan controlled the ball at midfield and broke past a defender, sending a pass ahead for Ballantyne. Ballantyne took the ball in stride on the wing, blew past another defender and sped toward the goal. Carruth also headed toward the goal and was unchallenged in front when Ballantyne's cross got to him. Carruth chipped the ball under the crossbar for his 13th goal of the year and his seventh game winning goal of the year with the game just 3:34 old.
"That was a big play for us because it took the crowd out of the game somewhat," said Durocher. "It gave us a boost and put them back on their heels."
A great play by Ali Montacer protected the 1-0 Saint lead when he cleared the ball off the goal line before it could cross the line at 16:50 of the first half. The Saints made it a 2-0 game off a corner kick at 26:29 as Alan Maragh controlled the kick which went out to the top of the penalty area and looped a ball into the goal mouth where Berner leapt up and headed it into the net with his back to the goal as Wheaton goalie Rusty Rosen was screened on the play.
While Wheaton made some adjustments at halftime and turned up the pressure in the second half, the Saint defense was more than equal to the task. Murphy, who tied Greg Sutton's record for shutouts in a season with 12, made a diving save on a shot by Rob Mouw just 2:50 into the half on what was the second of Wheaton's best scoring chances. Murphy also had a punch-out of a looping shot with back Nick Hillary clearing the ball with 15:30 to play in regulation, and Montacer picked Mouw's pocket with a perfect play from behind with 9:45 left as the Saints became the first team since 1997 to shut out the Crusaders.
The Saints, who graduate seniors Annan, Hillary and Berner from the current roster, established a host of new standards with their 22-0-0 season. In addition to Murphy's record for shutouts in a season, the team improved on last season's record for wins in a season with 22, set the record for winning percentage in a season with the perfect record, added to its record non-losing streak, tied the mark for shutouts in a season and set a team record for goals scored with 62, shattering a 29-year old record. In addition, Ballantyne topped Matt Dennett's 29-year-old mark for assists in a season with his 11th of the year in the championship game.
SAINTS DEFEAT MESSIAH COLLEGE,
Scott Dulay's goal in the seventh minute of play was the only score of the game as St. Lawrence University defeated Messiah College 1-0 in the NCAA Quarterfinals Saturday afternoon in Grantham, PA. The win sends the Saints to the NCAA Semifinals for the first time in school history and extends their unbeaten streak to 40 games. The Saints are now a perfect 20-0-0 in 1999.
The Saints will play Alma College in a 4 p.m. game Friday at Wheaton College in Illinois in the NCAA semifinals. Wheaton will play Richard Stockton in the other semifinal at 7 p.m. with the championship game slated for Saturday night at 7 p.m. at Wheaton.
Dulay headed a cross from Jamal Ballantyne into the goal 6:36 into the contest. The goal was Dulay's eighth of the season and the assist was the team-leading ninth for Ballantyne. The Saints outshot the Falcons 7-6 in the first half but Messiah had a 6-2 edge in corner opportunities. St. Lawrence goalkeeper Brendan Murphy was called upon for four saves in the first stanza while Messiah's Chris Boyles stopped one shot in the half.
Messiah's advantage in corner opportunities continued into the second half as they had four chances to St. Lawrence's one. An apparent tying goal by the Messiah falcons with seventeen minutes to go in the game was called back after the play was ruled offsides. The Saints had several chances to double their lead late in the contest, putting three shots on Messiah goalkeeper Boyles in one series with five minutes to go in the second half.
St. Lawrence outshot Messiah 9-4 in the half and 16-10 in the game. Brendan Murphy recorded 5 saves in the contest for his tenth shutout of the season, while Messiah's Chris Boyles had 10 stops in the game.
The time and location of the NCAA Semifinals and Final will be determined Sunday or Monday. The games will be held at the home site of one of the four remaining teams.
SAINTS WIN 2ND STRAIGHT REGIONAL SOCCER TITLE WITH 4-1 WIN OVER PLATTSBURGH IN CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
Junior forward Ryan Carruth scored his 11th and 12th goals of the season to help St. Lawrence University come from behind to win its second straight NCAA Northeast Regional Division III championship Sunday afternoon.
The Saints turned back Plattsburgh 4-1 and will now advance to meet Messiah College of Pennsylvania in the NCAA quarterfinals at Messiah.
St. Lawrence improved to 19-0-0 with the victory and pushed its unbeaten string to 39 straight games after overcoming an early 1-0 Plattsburgh lead with four unanswered goals.
"It was a good team effort and there was a lot of individual extra effort out there today," said Saint coach Bob Durocher. "Everyone who came off the bench raised the level of the game a little bit.
"We knew we had to turn it up going into the game. Plattsburgh played an outstanding game yesterday in the win over Ithaca, and we weren't as sharp as we could have been, but today we really stepped up. We played much better offensively, and even when we fell behind early we were still doing the right things and kept our poise."
Malcolm Gatherer gave Plattsburgh an early 1-0 lead when he scored with the game just 5:51 old, and the Saints were behind longer than they have been in any game this season.
"Usually when we have trailed, we have responded with a goal of our own a little more quickly, but the way we were clicking up front, I knew it was a matter of time," said Durocher. "We stayed composed and stuck to our game plan and it worked out."
Carruth tied the game at the 30:31 mark of the first half as he put a feed from Jamal Ballantyne past Cardinal goalie John Schraner and then scored the eventual game winner 3:31 into the second half as he converted from Bryan Burdick to give the Saints a 2-1 lead. It was the sixth game winning goal of the season for the Saints' top scorer.
Ballantyne gave the Saints some insurance on an outstanding individual play at 65:28 as he worked through a hit by a Plattsburgh defender and slid the ball along the ground past Schraner for his seventh of the season and Carlos Smith wrapped it up with a penalty kick at the 86:26 mark.
Saint goalie Brendan Murphy finished with four saves while Schraner had seven for Plattsburgh, which finishes its season 16-5-0. The Saints outshot Plattsburgh 15-6 and had a 5-2 edge in corner kicks.
SAINTS ADVANCE IN NCAA TOURNEY WITH
Ali Montacer tipped a cross from Tim Bealer into the upper right hand corner of the net with 7:05 to play in regulation time, snapping a 1-1 tie and sending St. Lawrence University on its way to a 3-1 win over Norwich University in the opening game of the NCAA Division III Northeast Regional soccer championship Saturday.
St. Lawrence, the top seed in the tournament, improved to 18-0-0 with the victory and now has a 38-game unbeaten streak spanning more than two seasons. Norwich had a seven-game win streak snapped and finished its season 17-4-0.
The Saints will play Plattsburgh State, a 2-0 winner over second seeded Ithaca College in Saturday's second game, for the regional championship Sunday at 1 p.m.
The Saints wasted little time in getting started against the Cadets, who were making their first NCAA appearance. Sophomore Scott Dulay picked up a rebound of an initial shot by sophomore Jamal Ballantyne and put it into the upper left corner for his seventh goal of the year with the game just 1:07 old.
While St. Lawrence had a number of other opportunities in the first half, Norwich goalkeeper Joshua McElroy kept the Cadets within striking range and Norwich tied the game on its first shot of the second half at the 72:11 mark.
"I thought that when we got the early goal we could open some breathing room and put them away early, but we missed some good opportunities and Norwich played us tough. The longer you let them stay close, the more confident they became," said Saint coach Bob Durocher. "We played well in spots, but we didn't play a full 90 minute game. Fortunately, the guys have developed a knack at coming up with a big goal when we need one," said the Saint coach, who earned his 100th career coaching victory with the win over the Cadets.
Dirk Vandeveer broke past a Saint defender and went one-on-one with SLU goalie Brendan Murphy and put the ball away for his ninth goal of the year to tie the game at 1-1.
The Saints came right back just over ten minutes later when Bealer started the game winning play after taking a short pass off a corner kick and sophomore Eric Harms added an insurance goal at 88:17, scoring his third of the season to make it a 3-1 game.
St. Lawrence, which will play the winner of Saturday's second game between Ithaca and Plattsburgh State in the regional final at 1 p.m. on Sunday, outshot Plattsburgh 18-3 with McElroy making a dozen saves for the Cadets and Murphy recording two for the Saints.
SAINTS FINISH 2ND STRAIGHT PERFECT REGULAR SEASON HOST NCAA REGIONAL FINALS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY
St. Lawrence University's men's soccer team capped its second straight perfect regular season with a 3-0 win at Oswego Saturday and will host the NCAA Division III Northeast Regional Tournament for the second straight year on Saturday and Sunday.
The Saints, who remain number one nationally in the NSCAA coaches poll, finished the year 17-0-0 with the Oswego win and have won 33 straight regular season games over the last two seasons. SLU has a 37 game unbeaten streak which includes two official ties in NCAA action last season plus a win in the final game of the 1997 season.
"It really is a tribute to the determination of the players…plus a little luck…that we have gone through two straight seasons without a tie or a loss during the regular season," said Saint coach Bob Durocher. "There were some games both years that we could have lost or maybe should have tied, but we've pulled them out.
"Now we are at the point we have worked toward since the start of pre-season practice, and hopefully we can keep things going the way we want them to go. We are a tournament-tested team after last year's experience, but we know we are going to be playing some very talented competition and will have to be on top of our game."
The Saints will host the winner of a Wednesday game between Springfield College, 15-5-0 and Norwich University, 16-3-0 which will be played Wednesday afternoon at 1 p.m. in Springfield. The Saint game will be at 11 a.m. Saturday with Ithaca College and Plattsburgh State to play at 1:30 p.m. Saturday's winners will meet for the regional championship at 1 p.m. Sunday.
The winner of the regional will take on the winner of the Mid-Atlantic regional which will be hosted by Messiah College of Pennsylvania.
Tickets for the regional tournament at St. Lawrence will go on sale Wednesday and may be reserved by calling 229-5423.
The Saints closed the regular season with another dominating performance at Oswego as goalie Brendan Murphy recorded his ninth shutout of the season and Ali Montacer scored two goals in the 3-0 win.
St. Lawrence, which outshot Oswego 15-5, opened the scoring with 1:50 left in the first half as Montacer scored his sixth of the season off an assist by Howard Beckford on a cross after a corner kick. It went to 2-0 as Montacer scored his second straight at 83:45 from Dan Annan and Dan Schmitt scored his fourth of the year at 88:35 on a cross from Beckford to wrap up the win and the perfect regular season.
Ryan Carruth led the Saints in scoring for the regular seaosn with 10 goals and four assists for 24 points while Jamal Ballantyne added six goals nad six assists. Scott Dulay chipped in six goals and four assists and Shawn Watson and Schmitt finished with four goals and an assist each.
The Saints outscored the opposition 50-13 with 14 different players scoring at least one goal. The Saints will be making their fourth NCAA appearance in the last five years and will be out to defend the regional title they won last season. SLU made it to the NCAA quarterfinals before bowing to Williams on penalty kicks last year. The Saints are 67-11-9 over the last five seasons, a .821 winning percentage and have made five straight post-season appearances including a 1997 ECAC berth. SAINTS CONTINUE STREAKS WITH 2-1 WIN OVER PLATTSBURGH Two of the new faces on the 1999 St. Lawrence University men's soccer team collaborated on the winning goal Wednesday afternoon as freshman Shawn Watson scored from sophomore transfer Eric Harms with 6:44 to go in regulation time to lift the Saints to a 2-1 win over Plattsburgh State.
Harms, who began his collegiate career at Plattsburgh before transferring to start the current academic year, made sure the Cardinals, now 12-4-1 did not end the Saints' 32-game regular season win streak and 36-game unbeaten streak. The sophomore started the game-winning play by making the initial kick on a corner kick. The ball was knocked back to him after the initial try and he recrossed the ball to Watson, who was in front and tapped home his fourth goal of the year and second game-winner at 83:16.
The two teams battled to a scoreless deadlock in the first half with SLU enjoying a 9-3 edge in shots on goal, but the Saints, now 16-0-0 broke on top when Ali Montacer scored his fifth goal of the season on a penalty kick at 63:04. Plattsburgh, which was the last team to beat the Saints when it won the final game of the 1997 regular season, tied the score on Chris Beck's tap in off a cross by Chris Granite with Malcolm Gatherer also assisting on the play at 66:45.
Saint goaltender Brendan Murphy had two saves for the win while Plattsburgh's John Schranger made 11 saves for the Cardinals.
BALLANTYNE'S GOAL HELPS SAINTS EDGE R.I.T.
Jamal Ballantyne scored the game's only goal with just under ten minutes left to play in regulation on Saturday afternoon as the Saints went on to edge visiting R.I.T. 1-0. Senior captain Dan Annan and teammate Scott Dulay both assisted on the game winning play.
The Saints outshot R.I.T. 14-3 and got four saves from goalie Brendan Murphy. Now 15-0-0, they will face Plattsburgh on Wednesday and Oswego on Nov. 6 to finish out the regular season.
SAINTS TOP NAZARETH AS CARRUTH SCORES TWO GOALS
Despite miserable playing conditions, the Saints pulled off a 5-2 win over visiting Nazareth on Friday, improving their overall record to 14-0-0.
Ryan Carruth opened the scoring for the Saints by beating Nazareth goalie Brian Harding in a one-on-one situation at the 19:16 mark of the first half. Just over a minute later, Nazareth's Jeff Lum scored off a corner kick from Mike Marques to tie the game 1-1.
Carlos Smith answered back for St. Lawrence, taking advantage of a ball that deflected off a Nazareth player right in front of their goal. Nazareth would tie the game up again just before halftime, as Steve Fisher took a pass from teammate Colin Boughter and fired a shot past Saint goalie Brendan Murphy.
It was all Saints in the second half of play as Carruth, Eric Harms and Dan Schmitt each provided a goal to secure their team's fourteenth win of the season. Tim Bealer provided two assists for the Saints, while Carruth and Ali Montacer each provided one.
SAINTS WIN UCAA SOCCER TITLE,
Ryan Carruth's second goal of the game just 1:08 into the second overtime period gave St. Lawrence University's men's soccer team its 12th straight victory Friday afternoon and clinched the Upstate Collegiate Athletic Association championship for the second straight year as the Saints fought off Hobart 4-3. The Saints beat Union 5-0 on Saturday to finish their conference season 6-0 for the second straight year.
Hobart, which lost to the Saints in the final second a year ago, got only seven shots on goal, but converted on three of them.
"I knew it was going to be a battle," said Saint coach Bob Durocher. "We didn't play well defensively, but we were able to come through on offense and pull it out of the fire."
The Saints, boasting a 28-game regular season win streak and a 33-game unbeaten streak, opened the week with a 4-1 win at Potsdam before completing league play on the weekend. The three wins, coupled with a loss by previous poll leader Wheaton, vaulted the Saints into the top spot in the National Soccer Coaches of America Association's Division III poll. It is the first time a Saint soccer team has been ranked number one at any point in a season.
Chad North opened the scoring for Hobart with the first of his two goals 14 minutes into the game, but the Saints tied it at the 20 minute mark on a goal by Jamal Ballantyne, set up by Alan Maragh. North scored his second of the day at the 24 minute mark, but the Saints scored two goals just two minutes apart as Matt Bogosian scored unassisted for a 2-2 tie and then set up Carruth's first of the game at the 32 minute mark for a 3-2 Saint lead.
"Matt played an outstanding game for us and Ryan has really been finishing off his plays," commented Durocher.
Rich Azulay tied it for Hobart at the 71 minute mark and the two teams battled through the first 15 minute extra period knotted at 3-3 before Carruth ended it off a feed from Ballantyne. Brendan Murphy was credited with two saves in the game while the Hobart keeper had 15. At Union Saturday Bryan Burdick opened the scoring for the Saints from Scott Dulay just 8:12 into the game and Ali Montacer scored his fourth of the year from Mike Berner at 20:38 to make it a 2-0 game at the half.
Ryan Carruth scored his third goal of the weekend and eighth of the season from Burdick just 2:48 into the second half and the Saints added goals by Shawn Watson from Howard Beckford at 71:28 and by Dan Schmitt, also from Beckford at 87:07 to complete the scoring. "We spread the field better today than we did at Hobart, and obviously we were much better defensively," said Saint coach Bob Durocher.
Murphy needed just two saves to record his seventh shutout of the season while two Union goalies combined for six saves.
At Potsdam Tuesday, the Saints fell behind when Eric Schwerzman scored at 20:38, but Montacer tied it with the first of his two goals just 50 seconds later and Scott Dulay got the game winner from Alan Maragh six minutes into the second half. Maragh scored a goal and Montacer netted his second in the stretch as Potsdam goalie Zach Lambert finished with 20 saves and Murphy had one. The Saints will host Nazareth Friday at 4 p.m. and RIT Saturday at 2 p.m.
