UMBC Registered Three Second-Half Goals To Rally Past Men's Soccer, 3-2

Box Score

EMMITSBURG, Md. - UMBC scored three goals in the second half to rally past Mount St. Mary's 3-2 in non-conference men's soccer action on Saturday.

Ty Fenstermacher (Macungie, Pa./Emmaus) posted his first goal of the season and fourth of his career while the Mount (3-3) notched its second goal on an own goal. Peter Steve (Dallas, Pa./Dallas) made his collegiate debut in goal and registered two saves.

Pete Caringi, Jr., the son of head coach Pete Caringi, scored the game-winning goal in the 78th minute while Andrew Bulls dished out two assists. Levi Houapeau and Chris Williams also scored for the Retrievers and Dan Louisignau played the second half in between the pipes and made a game-saving stop in the closing seconds to preserve the win.

For the second-straight year, UMBC rallied from a first-half deficit to score three times in the second half to come away with a 3-2 win and extend its unbeaten streak to 13 games against the Mountaineers.

Trailing 2-0 going into the final stanza, the Retrievers tied the game on a pair of set offensive plays on free kicks. Bulls served a free kick from the left side to Dustin Dzwonkski who found Williams head and into the back of the twine at 52:14 to trim the margin to one goal.

The score stayed that way for the next 10 minutes before another free kick helped tie the game. Houapeu and another UMBC player stood in front of the Mount St. Mary's wall. Houapeu then moved behind the wall to take the soft pass from Bulls and scored to knot the game at 2 at the 62:26 mark.

Milo Kapor then set up the decisive goal with a serve from the right side where Caringi backwards kicked the ball into the twine at 77:21.

The Mount had a great chance to even the match in the closing minute of the contest. Senior Eric Detzel (York, Pa./Central York) had a shot right at the top right of the penalty box saved by Louisignau in the bottom right of the pipe with five seconds left. The ball went out of bounds, but the Mountaineers did not have time for a corner kick as time expired.

Mount St. Mary's took a 2-0 lead in the first half. A long ball from Chris Wheeler (Newcastle, Australia/St. Francis Xavier) ended up with a scramble for the ball. A Retriever defender knocked the ball to Fenstermacher, who nailed his shot from left to right into the back netting at 33:31 for a 1-0 edge.

The Mount increased the lead to two goals with a little help from UMBC. Senior Scott Phinith (Gaithersburg, Md./Magruder) hit a corner kick serve from the right when the Retrievers netminder Phil Saunders knocked the ball up in the air before having his momentum and the ball go backwards and past the line for an own goal at 39:35. Saunders made two saves in the first 45 minutes of the match. UMBC then scored three times in the second stanza to win the inter-state battle.

Mount St. Mary's returns to action on Friday when the squad travels to participate in the UNLV Tournament. The Mount will take on the host Rebels on Friday at 10 p.m. EST in a battle of the Ryerson brothers. The Mountaineers head coach Rob Ryerson, UNLV's all-time leading scorer, will face his younger brother, Rich, who is in his first season as the helm of the Rebels.
