Pinnella Goal Leads To First Conference Victory For Cyclones

October 5, 2011
IMMACULATA, Pa. (September 28, 2011) – Despite an hour long rain delay to postpone the start of the game, senior Andrew Pinnella (Brielle, N.J./Manasquan) was able to knock home a goal in the last fifteen minutes of play to bring home the Cyclones’ (5-2-2, 1-0-0 CSAC) first conference win of the season.

The Cyclone offense came out strong as they outshot Immaculata 14-2, eight of which were on net. Pinnella continued his on-field dominance as he was able to fire off five shots, four on goal and one of those that led the Cyclones to their 1-0 finish over the Mighty Macs.

With the goal, Pinnella tallies 12 on the season and continues his dominance among the ranks as he was ranked third in the NCAA Division III standings in total goals scored entering the game. The senior has also moved closer to yet another Centenary all-time record as he is only three goals away from taking over as the all-time goal scorer as well.

Also contributing to the powerful Cyclone offense were Reid Meeker (Phillipsburg, N.J./Notre Dame Green Pond), Quinn Khouri (Eldersburg, Md./Liberty), and Alex Khouri (Eldersburg, Md./Liberty) who each contributed with shots on goal.

With the weather conditions proving to be dismal and dreary, the intensity of the game revved as five cards were issued, including one red card to each of the respective teams.

The Cyclones look to continue their offensive momentum when they return home on Saturday to take on conference foe Cabrini College at 3:00pm.
