Bancroft, Kopp Named to All-Little East Men's Soccer Second Team
GORHAM, Maine -- Senior midfielder Joel Bancroft (Raymond,
Maine/Westbrook HS) and junior defender Jason Kopp (Portland, Maine/Hall-Dale
HS) have been named to the All-Little East Conference second team, following a
vote by the conference's eight head coaches.
The all-star teams and individual awards were announced Monday (November
5) afternoon by the commissioner of the Little East, William M. Moore. It is
the first time that either player has been named to the All-LEC squad.
Bancroft, who split his playing time between midfield and defender,
finished the season as the Huskies' leading scorer with two goals and two
assists for six points. Kopp did not score in 19 matches, but played
outstanding defense.
"Looking back over the whole season, Jason was one of our top players in
nearly every match. He rarely gets beat and is one of the best defensive
defenders in the conference. He's always positive and has learned a lot over
the last two seasons to make himself a better player," commented second-year
head coach Eric Miller.
"Joel brought some much needed leadership to the club. He did everything
I asked of him this season despite playing much of the year with some nagging
injuries that hampered his play. He was well liked by his peers and showed lots
of maturity with the younger players," added Miller.
During his two seasons with the Huskies, Kopp has one assist in 37
matches. Bancroft, who returned to the program this season after being away for
five years, scored his first collegiate points this year.
The Huskies finished the 2001 season 3-16-1 overall and 0-6-1 in the
Little East.

Bulow Scores Twice as Bowdoin Drops Southern Maine, 4-1
BRUNSWICK, Maine - The Bowdoin College men's soccer team got two goals
from senior midfielder David Bulow (Denver, Col.) and a solid team effort in
defeating the University of Southern Maine, 4-1, in non-conference action
Thursday afternoon.
With the victory, the Polar Bears moved to 6-3-1 on the season, while the
Huskies dropped to 2-12-1.
Bowdoin needed little time scoring the opening goal, as Bulow drew the
Southern Maine goalie, sophomore Dan Hills (Tolland, Conn.), out of position and
found freshman forward Bobby Desilets (Mapleville, R.I.) in the box for the
opening score at 4:59.
Nearly five minutes later, USM sophomore midfielder Ian Frank (Gorham,
Maine) found Bowdoin's sophomore netminder, Travis Derr (Berlin, Conn.), out of
position, and chipped the ball over his head to knot the game at 9:44.
The Polar Bears would take control from there, as freshman back Bucky
Jencks (Honolulu, Hawaii) finished off a scramble in front to give Bowdoin a 2-1
edge at 14:12. Bulow scored off a free kick from 20 yards out at 19:04, and
then took a pass from junior forward Bart McMann (Marshfield, Mass.) to score
his second goal early in the second half, at 45:56.
The two goals raise Bulow's season total to 12, two short of the single-
season Bowdoin record, while his 27 career tallies rank him fourth on the career
goals list, five short of the school record.
Derr played 61 minutes and made one save, while freshman Tom Davis (San
Francisco, Calif.) made a single save in the final 29 minutes of action for
Bowdoin. Hills made ten saves for Southern Maine.
Southern Maine returns to action Saturday when it travels to the
University of Massachusetts Dartmouth for a Little East Conference match
starting at 1:00 p.m. Bowdoin will host NESCAC rival Connecticut College in a
3:00 p.m. match, also on Saturday.

Mendes Leads Beacons Past Huskies, 3-1
BOSTON, Mass. -- Senior midfielder Joao Mendes (Brockton, Mass.) scored
a pair of goals to lead the University of Massachusetts Boston Beacons to a 3-1
victory over the University of Southern Maine in a Little East Conference men's
soccer match Saturday afternoon at the Clark Athletic Center.
The win improved the Beacons records to 4-8-0 overall and 1-2-0 in the
Little East. Southern Maine dropped its fifth straight match to fall to 2-11-1
overall and 0-2-1 in the conference.
Mendes did the damage early, scoring both of his goals in the first six
minutes of play. He collected his first goal at 3:33, set up by freshman Dave
Lococo (Medford, Mass.) and Georgio Bantos (Dedham, Mass.). Just over two
minutes later, Mendes got what proved to be the game winner when his shot found
the upper right corner.
Freshman Alejandro Lopez (East Boston, Mass.) made it 3-0 at 36:57 with an
unassisted goal.
Southern Maine got one back at 54:31 when sophomore Simeon Allolding
(Portland, Maine) hit a shot from just outside the 18-yard box that found the
left corner of the net for his first goal of the season. The Huskies played
better in the second half, and pressed the attack, but could not get any closer.
UMass Boston senior goalkeeper Orlando Torres (Dorchester, Mass.) returned
after missing three weeks with an injury to stop seven USM shots. Sophomore
Jeff Gray (Yarmouth Maine) started for the Huskies, making three saves in the
first half before being lifted in favor of sophomore Dan Hills (Tolland, Conn.).

The match was originally scheduled to be played on September 11, but was

Maine). Yaeger finished with two saves. Tong was credited with two saves for
the Huskies.
The win snapped a three-match losing streak for the Monks, who improved to

scored the only goal of the match at 69:06 to give the Bates College Bobcats a
1-0 victory over the University of Southern Maine Huskies in a non-conference
match Tuesday afternoon at the USM soccer pitch.
Bradford took advantage of a miscue by the USM defense to gain control of
the ball just outside the 18-yard box. He dribbled into the box and curled a
right-footed shot past the charging goalkeeper, sophomore Jeff Gray (Yarmouth,
Maine), and off the far post. The goal was the first of Bradford's collegiate
career.
Bates senior goalkeeper Dan Spector (Framingham, Mass.) needed to make two
saves, both in the first half, for his first shutout of the season, and the 16th
of his career. His best stop came in the first half when sophomore Simeon
Allolding (Portland, Maine) broke through the Bobcat defense and ripped off a
15-yard shot.
Gray finished the match with four saves.
The win leveled the Bobcats overall season record at 3-3-0. Southern
Maine slipped to 2-9-1 overall. The Bobcats had a 14-4 advantage in shots.

Maine) cut the deficit in half when he converted a penalty kick at 46:39 after

Huskies Blank Nor'easters 3-0
GORHAM, Maine -- The University of Southern Maine received goals from
three different players and sophomore goalkeeper Dan Hills (Tolland, Conn.) made
five saves as the Huskies shut out the visiting University of New England
Nor'easters, 3-0, in a non-conference men's college soccer match Monday
afternoon at the USM soccer pitch.
The win was the second of the season for the Huskies who improved to 2-6-1
overall. USM is 2-1-1 in its last four matches after an 0-5-0 start. UNE,
still searching for its first win of the season, fell to 0-6-0.
Freshman midfielder Mike Pickering (Arlington, Vt.) gave the Huskies the
only goal they would need at the 35:19 mark. UNE freshman goalkeeper Nate
Montimy (Bar Harbor, Maine) beat a USM forward to a 50-50 ball with a sliding
tackle just outside the box, but his clear went directly to Pickering about 35
yards out from goal. The rookie midfielder calmly hit a low shot into the
vacated net for his first collegiate goal.
The Huskies got an insurance marker in the 80th minute when senior Joel
Bancroft (Raymond, Maine) converted a penalty kick. Freshman Nate Stevens
(Rockland, Maine) closed out the scoring in the final minute with his first
collegiate goal from a scramble about 10 yards out.
Hills kept the Huskies out in front before Bancroft's goal with a couple
of excellent saves. Midway through the second half as the Nor'easters pressed
to get the equalizer, he stopped freshman Geoff Champagne's (North Smithfield,
R.I.) initial drive, then parried over the crossbar rookie Joshua Roys'
(Gilford, N.H.) shot off the rebound.
Montimy finished the match with five saves.
The Huskies return to action Wednesday when they travel to Colby College.

Southern Maine Huskies their first win of the season, a 2-0 decision over the

been shut out in their first five matches this season. USM is now 1-5-0

through pass from freshman Kevin Colwell (South Berwick, Maine), made one touch
by a Husson defender and beat freshman goalkeeper Cliff Urquhart (Eastport,

Maine) from just outside the box. Bancroft's cross into the box went untouched
by Husson and Rinaldi was able to run onto the ball and knock it into the empty
net.

collegiate start, posted the shutout by making two saves. Urquhart was credited
with three saves.
