Men's Soccer Reaches NCAA Tourney 2nd-Round
|
A goal by Montclair State's Bill Anthes in the
game’s 18th minute held up as the home team Red Hawks, ranked eighth
nationally, improved to 20-1 with a 1-0 victory over Wesleyan on Nov. 11 in
the second round of the NCAA Division III tournament.
The loss to the New Jersey school ended the Cardinals' season at 11-3-3. It
was the second year in a row that Wesleyan, currently ranked 23rd, saw its
season conclude in the second round of the NCAAs.
Wesleyan defeated Baruch, 5-0, in the opening round three days earlier to
advance to the game with Montclair State.
The Cardinals turned up the pressure in the
 second half generating a 7-2
margin on shots over the final 45 minutes but were shut out. The closest
they came a was shot in the 79th minute by Jared Ashe '07 off a Julian Canzoneri '07 corner kick but were denied by a dramatic defensive save by a
Red Hawk.
Ashe, pictured at left, was one of four Cardinals recently honored by the NESCAC with a spot on
the all-NESCAC squad. He was a first-team choice along with Matt Nevin '09
and Peter Glidden '07. Sam Griswold '08 was named to the second team.
