Men’s Soccer’s Gets Back on Track with 2-1 at Caldwell; Clinches CACC Tournament Berth

CALDWELL, N.J. – Two goals in the opening 20 minutes were enough, as HFU men's soccer responded to its seven-match unbeaten streak ending on Tuesday with a 2-1 win at Caldwell on Saturday afternoon. 
 
The result clinched the Tigers' fifth consecutive berth in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Tournament. 
 
Joel Richmond (Bridgetown, Barbados/Church Farm) opened the scoring in the 14th minute when he collected Dakota Taylor's (Willow Grove, Pa./Archbishop Wood) long ball up the left sideline, cut inside and unleashed a curler into the right corner from just outside the top-left of the 18. 
 
The second goal came from Joseph Amabile's (Beachwood, N.J./Toms River South) long throw-in up the right side-line. Sean Touey (Rockledge, Pa./Abington) collected it and after holding off a defender he drove to the end-line, where his near-post cross was cleverly flicked in by Marcelo Ibarra (Philadelphia, Pa./Father Judge). 
 
Caldwell equalized off a corner kick just 1:19 into the second half, but the Cougars could manage just one more attempt on net the remainder of the contest in the 78th minute. 
 
Inside the Box Score
  • Luke Shank (Doylestown, Pa./Central Bucks West) made four saves for his seventh victory of the year
    • The seven wins are sixth in program history for a career, and tied for seventh in the single-season record book
  • Touey's third assist of the year is second on the team and ties his career-high
  • Ibarra's goal was his third of the season, including his first game-winner, while Richmond has now scored twice
  • HFU's 12 shots on goal were a new season-best, while the Tigers' 17 attempts were tied for their second-highest of the year
