Bronx, NY (August, 30, 2003)- Manhattan College sophomore
Kevin Martin (Bournemouth, England) scored the only goal of the game to give the Jaspers a 1-0 win over Bronx rival Fordham today at Edwards' Parade on the Fordham campus.
Martin scored the game-winner, his first goal as a Jasper, at the 21:23 mark of the first half. On a corner kick, senior
Robert Tedesco (Melville, NY) sent the ball into the box, where Martin was able to head the ball past Fordham (0-1) goalkeeper Nathaniel Freihaut.
The Rams outshot the Jaspers 11-5 in the game, including 6-2 in the second half, but freshman goalkeeper
Collin Leaver (Encinitas, CA) made eight saves to record his first collegiate win and shutout.
Manhattan (1-0) is back in action on Saturday, September 6 at 3:00 p.m., when the Jaspers take on the Saint Joseph's Hawks in the first game of the Hawk Classic in Philadelphia, PA.
