Mustangs Fall on the Road at Goucher Saturday Night

Box score

TOWSON, Md. - Julien Greco scored the game's only goal in the 23rd minute off an assist from Elijah Lais to lead Goucher to a 1-0 win over local rival Stevenson Saturday night at Beldon Field.

The contest was the third-straight decided by one-goal for the Mustangs (2-3) this season where they are 1-2. It was also Stevenson's 15th one-goal game under third-year head coach John Plevyak. The team is 8-7 in those games.

Meanwhile, it was the fourth one-goal game for the Gophers (4-1) this season and their third win in such games. The team's only one-goal loss came in overtime to DeSales in the championship game of the Goucher Classic, 2-1.

The goal was Greco's second of the season and gave Goucher its second win over a team from the CAC following its 1-0 win at Hood in the season opener on September 2.

Stevenson sophomore Ryan Flannelly (Middlesex, N.J./Middlesex) made five saves while Justin Holbrook had four in picking up his third shutout for the Gophers.

The Mustangs look to snap their two-game skid on Tuesday when they return home to face Penn State-Harrisburg. Game time is at 4:00 p.m.
