Fenstermacher Nets First Career Goal To Fuel Men's Soccer Past Navy, 3-0

EMMITSBURG, Md. – Ty Fenstermacher (Macungie, Pa./Emmaus) notched his first collegiate goal and Scott Phinith (Gaithersburg, Md./Magruder) dished out two assists to help Mount St. Mary's past Navy 3-0 in non-conference men's soccer action on Wednesday.

Fenstermacher, who registered an assist in his freshman campaign, recorded his first career goal in the sixth minute to hand the Mount (4-5-0) a 1-0 advantage. Phinith assisted Fenstermacher's tally and added an assist in the second half for his second two-assist match this season.

Chris Wheeler (Newcastle, Australia/St. Francis Xavier) notched his team-leading fifth goal of the year while Kyle Patrick (Hershey, Pa./Hershey) found the twine for the second time in 2008. Chris Davis (Townsville, Australia/Kirwan State) made two saves to earn his third shutout of the season.

Nolan Grebb turned away seven shots for the Midshipmen (4-5-1) in the loss.

Mount St. Mary's jumped out to the early advantage and never looked back to defeat Navy for the first time in eight tries since the series started in 1988.

Phinith served the ball from the right before Fenstermacher rocketed a shot into the bottom left corner at the 5:30 mark to hand the Mount an early 1-0 advantage.

Wheeler then found the twine for the third-straight match off Eric Detzel's (York, Pa./Central York) fourth assist of the year at 32:40 to give the Mountaineers a two-goal advantage going into halftime.

Phinith then capped the squad's first-ever win against the Midshipmen when he set up Patrick's tally at 67:42 for a 3-0 lead.

Navy had a couple of chances to get on the scoreboard, but could not convert. Davis turned away shots from Mark Garcia and Kyle Behbehani in the 10th and 50th minutes, respectively, before Matt Tapajcik gave the Midshipmen its final scoring threat and missed wide in the 86th minute.

It marked the first time the Mountaineers have shutout Navy and the first time Mount St. Mary's scored more than one goal against the Annapolis program.

The four non-conference wins in 2008 are the most since the squad won four non-conference matches in 2000.

The Mount returns to action when the squad opens up Northeast Conference play at home against Robert Morris on Oct. 10. Game time is 3 p.m.
