Box Score

Five different players found the back of the net on Wednesday afternoon as the Shippensburg University men's soccer team used a second-half offensive explosion en route to a 6-1 road victory at Goldey-Beacom in non-conference action.

The six goals are the most the Raiders (2-6-2) have scored in a game since a 6-1 home victory over Washington Adventist in the second game of the 2010 season. The five second-half goals are the most Shippensburg has had in a half in at least 10 years.

Junior Jonathan DeNicola led the way on Saturday with two goals, while senior Austin Hill, juniors Oli Templeton and Patrick Urmson and sophomore Fred Lucas each scored their second goals of the season.

Templeton kick off the scoring just over four minutes into the contest after a combination of passes from Lucas and senior Taylor Hudson gave Templeton an open shot in front of the goal for a 1-0 Shippensburg lead.

Goldey-Beacom's (2-8) Andre Jank scored at the 15th minute off of a restart. The game was scoreless for the remainder of the first half, but the Raiders broke the 1-1 tie beginning nine minutes into the second half with its first of four goals in a 17-minute span when senior Joe Nixon restarted and sent in a pass toward the goal that Urmson headed in.

Lucas scored unassisted at the 63rd minute off a rebound of his own missed penalty kick – rewarded after a Goldey-Beacom handball in the box – for a 3-1 Raiders lead. At the 69th minute, DeNicola scored his first of two goals in four minutes off an assist from Templeton that led to a breakaway goal.

Hill wrapped up the scoring with a header just over two minutes remaining in regulation off a corner kick from freshman Derek Adams.

The Raiders finished with a 26-3 advantage in shots and a 9-1 lead in corner kicks. Senior goalkeeper Andrew Foran saw his first action in about a month, making one save in the start.

SU returns home on Tuesday with a 5 p.m. PSAC match against East Stroudsburg.
