Loretto, PA – The St. Francis Brooklyn men’s soccer team claimed its second consecutive Northeast Conference (NEC) Tournament Championship and clinched a trip to the NCAA Men’s College Cup. The Terriers have now won six NEC men’s soccer titles, just one behind Fairleigh Dickinson who has seven.
 
NEC Tournament Most Valuable Player Andy Cormack (Plymouth, England/Hele’s School) scored the golden goal on a free kick in the 94^th minute. The senior captain also scored the golden goal via a free kick in last year’s championship game against Bryant (watch here).
 
There was not much action in the first half as both teams were trying not to concede the first goal. In the 42^nd minute there was a hand ball in the box on St. Francis Brooklyn which led to a Saint Francis U penalty kick. NEC Defensive Player of the Year Francis de Vries (Christchurch, New Zealand/Cashmere) converted the PK to give the Red Flash a 1-0 lead.
 
It looked like the Red Flash would take the lead into the half, but a minute later the Terriers would get a PK of their own after a Saint Francis U hand ball inside of their box. Junior Cyril Coisne (Lille, France/Univ. of Montpelier) converted the penalty to tie the game up at one.
 
Saint Francis U junior goalkeeper Andrew Garcia (Sicklerville, NJ/Timber Creek Regional) came up big in the 78^th minute when a tricky shot from Harry Odell (Manchester, England/Cardinal Langley RC) almost made it into the back of the net but Garcia was able to get a hand on it.
 
The teams played a very evenly matched game according to the stats, the Terries had five shots on goal with four corner kicks while the Red Flash had six shots on goal and also had four corner kicks.
