Hamden, Conn. (September 24, 2005)- Manhattan scored the game's first goal, but could not hold off Quinnipiac, as the Bobcats escaped with a 2-1 win over the Jaspers this afternoon on the Quinnipiac campus.
The Jaspers cracked the scoreboard first, as
Kevin Martin put up his first marker of the season at the 19:01 mark off a feed from
Dan Shemanski, the first collegiate point for the rookie.
Quinnipiac answered just under two minutes later, as Lassana Camara received a pass from Graciano Brito and beat Manhattan goalkeeper
David Mires to knot the score at 1-1.
The score remained tied through halftime as the two sides went into the locker rooms deadlocked at 1-1.
The Bobcats scored the only goal of the second half just 1:36 into the second stanza. Off a restart, Brito took a feed from Nicolae Popescu and put the ball to the back of the net in what would end up as the game-winner.
Mires tallied seven saves in net for Manhattan, while Kenneth Lewis stopped four shots for the Bobcats.
Quinnipiac held an 18-8 advantage in shots, but each team attempted five corners.
