Sophomore Jeremy Lippel netted the game-winner to lead Stevens past Farmingdale.

HOBOKEN, N.J. (September 20, 2006) – Sophomore forward Jeremy Lippel (West Orange, N.J.) netted the game-winner as the Stevens Institute of Technology men’s soccer team defeated Farmingdale State University, 1-0, on Wednesday afternoon at DeBaun Field.  With the win, the Ducks improved to 6-0-1 overall and 1-0 in the league.  With the loss, the Rams dropped to 2-3-1 and 0-2 in the conference.

Lippel totaled the lone goal of the game 27 minutes into the first half.   Freshman midfielder Al Lockhart (Decatur, Ga.) sent a pass from midfield to Lippel, who set up in front of the goal.  Lippel slipped the ball past Rams’ freshman goalie Joseph Caccavale (West Islip, N.Y.) to earn his second tally of the year.

The Ducks controlled possession the entire second half and had a chance to take a two goal advantage with 16 minutes remaining in the game.  Junior midfielder Ryan Wilkison (Harrisburg, Pa.) ripped a shot from 25 yards out, but Caccavale made a diving save at the right post.

Stevens dominated the game and out-shot Farmingdale 22-0.  The Ducks held a 9-1 advantage in corner kicks.

Lockhart led the Ducks’ offensive attack with five shots, while freshman forward Terrance Johnson (Slidell, La.) and senior midfielder Chris McGreevy (Rochester, Mich.) had four shots apiece.

Senior goalkeeper Chris Celentano (Netwon, N.J.) earned the win for Stevens and was not tested in the game.  Caccavale registered six saves for Farmingdale.

Stevens will return to action on Saturday when it travels to Throggs Neck, N.Y. to play Maritime College at 5 p.m.
