Box Score

Brooklyn, NY---In a game that had huge implications in determining the playoff future of these two teams, Brooklyn ( 2-8, 1-4 CUNYAC) and Hunter (2-9, 1-4 CUNYAC) Colleges each played a hard, physical game at the Parade Grounds on an abnormally hot October day, but it was BC who came away with a 1-0 victory behind a second half goal from first-year midfielder Stephen Chase (St. Mary's College/Brooklyn, NY).

The goal by Chase came during the games 66th minute as Chase received a great lead pass from Vasyl Palinchak (James Madison/Brooklyn, NY) down the left side of the field.  Chase beat the defender and then worked the ball back to his right leg, beating the goalie with a strong kick to the high right corner.

The goal gave BC a 1-0 lead that they would not relinquish as Scott Geller played excellently in goal, picking up the shutout while notching 8 saves.

BC has now won two games in a row and has played two straight games without allowing a goal. 

Fellow rookie Jason Trotman (Fatima College/Brooklyn, NY) also played a huge role in the win as he controlled the midfield throughout most of the game.

Hunter outshot Brooklyn 18-14 and had multiple opportunities at the start of the game but could not convert.

The Bridges, looking to expand on their winning streak, will battle conference and borough rival, Medgar Evers, on Wednesday at 4:00 pm at the Parade Grounds in the team's final home game of the season.
