WEST CHESTER, Pa. – In a match that featured all three goals less than 10 minutes apart in the opening 14:40 of the second half, Lautaro Berisso's (La Plata, Argentina/) equalizer was not enough as the HFU men's soccer team dropped its season-opener, 1-2, at West Chester on Saturday afternoon.  
 
The ball fell to Berisso around the top of the box after back-to-back headers won by Kevin Duffy (Stroudsburg, Pa./Stroudsburg) and Alvaro Orellana, and the senior powered his right-footed shot past the keeper to cancel out WCU's 50th minute opener. 
 
It took the Golden Rams less than four minutes to find the eventual winner though, as a free kick deflected off the wall into the bck of the net.  
 
Luke Shank (Doylestown, Pa./Central Bucks West) made two saves to keep it a one-goal margin, but the Tigers could not threaten the WCU frame again over the final half hour. 
 
Orellana, Tajhay Williams (Yallahs, Jamaica/Clarendon College), Deshawn Bernard (Portmore, Jamaica/Wolmer's Boys School), Sergio Gonzalez (Madrid, Spain/IES Las Musas), Sergio Revuelta (Valladolid, Spain/IES Alejandria) and Jesus Gonzalez (Madrid, Spain/Colegio Artica) all made their HFU debuts, while Luiz Recchimuzzi (Bahia, Brazil/Life Center Academy), Kerin St. Clair Jr. (Union, N.J./Union) and Joshua Moreland (Blackwood, N.J./Sterling) notably made their collegiate debuts. 
 
The first half was contested tightly with both teams managing just three shots, highlighted by Berisso and Joseph Amabile (Beachwood, N.J./Toms River South) forcing saves in the opening nine minutes. 
 
West Chester's three first half attempts all came 1:15 apart in the 11th and 12th minutes, with just one testing Shank's frame. 
 
Hunter Bell (Delran, N.J./Life Center Academy) had the lone other shot of the half in the 21st minute.
 
Holy Family notably took eight corners to the Golden Rams' five.
