Huskies Knock off Warriors 2-0 for First LEC Win
WILLIMANTIC, Conn. -- Sophomore Mike Suesse (Westborough, Mass.) and
freshman Jonathan Martens (Tolland, Conn.) each scored their first goal of the
season as the visiting University of Southern Maine Huskies snapped an eight-match
winless streak with a 2-0 victory over the Eastern Connecticut State University
Warriors in a Little East Conference men's soccer match played Wednesday
afternoon. The match was rescheduled to Wednesday after being rained out last
Saturday.
The win improved USM's overall record to 4-9-3, and 1-3-2 in the conference.
It was the Huskies first win since beating the University of New England on
September 30, a stretch of eight matches (0-6-2). USM is 4-4-1 on the road this
season.
The loss was the third straight for the Warriors, who fall to 7-9-1 overall
and 2-4-0 in LEC play. Eastern Connecticut also was eliminated from contention
for a berth in next month's four-team LEC championship tournament.
Suesse gave the Huskies the lead at 27:41 when his shot from about 20 yards
out eluded Eastern Connecticut senior goalkeeper Arthur Lubniewski (Newington,
Conn.). It was the second-year midfielder's first career goal. Sophomore
midfielder Andy Budelman (Rochester, N.H.) drew the only assist.
The issue was not decided until the final minute of the match. With
Lubniewski way out of his net as the Warriors pressed everyone forward looking for
the equalizer, Martens picked up a long clear around midfield, beat the EC keeper
and dribbled the ball into the unguarded net with 13 seconds left to play.
Junior Dan Hills (Tolland, Conn.) and freshman Chris Willard (Hampton, Conn.)
each played a half and combined for nine saves to post the shutout for Southern
Maine. Lubniewski was credited with two saves. The Warriors had a 17-6 edge in
shots and a 6-0 advantage in corner kicks during the match

Taylor Lance of Southern Maine Earns Men's Soccer Weekly Honor
GORHAM, Maine - University of Southern Maine freshman forward Taylor Lance
(Northfield, Vt.) was named the Little East Conference Rookie of the Week after

corner kick. Teammate Ian Frank (Gorham, Maine) curled a ball away from the

Southern Maine Falls to Colby-Sawyer, 2-1
NEW LONDON, N.H. - Sophomore Ben Fortin (North Yarmouth, Maine) scored the
eventual game-winner in the 85th minute of play to lead the host Colby Sawyer
Chargers to a 2-1 triumph over the University of Southern Maine Huskies, on
Thursday afternoon.
Senior Dimitri Dimakis (Athens, Greece) set up the decisive goal when he
dribbled along the right touchline before sending a short cross into the area,
which Fortin tapped into the net. The goal gave the Chargers a 2-0 advantage,
and was a near carbon copy of their first goal of the match.
Junior forward Matt Solazzo (Newburyport, Mass.) advanced along the left
end line before crossing the ball to sophomore forward Matt Athorn (Maynard,
Mass.), who one-time the ball into the net in the 71st minute.
The Huskies cut the deficit in half in the 88th minute, when junior
forward Simeon Allolding (Portland, Maine) outraced the Charger defense to a
loose ball and chipped a short shot over the head of freshman keeper Adam Perron
(Hampden, Mass.).
Colby Sawyer held a 15-8 edge in shots, and Southern Maine freshman keeper
Chris Willard (Hampton, Conn.) registered seven saves. For Colby Sawyer,
freshman goalie Joe Albiston (Falmouth, Maine) and Perron combined for two
saves.
The teams return to action on Saturday as the Huskies commence their
Little East Conference schedule at Rhode Island College, while the Chargers will
travel to three-time defending Commonwealth Coast Conference champion Roger
Williams

WATERVILLE, Maine - The University of Southern Maine Huskies received
goals from five players, including the game-winner from sophomore midfielder
Andy Budelman (Rochester, N.H.), to post a 5-1 win over the host Thomas College
Terriers in a non-conference men's college soccer match played Saturday

With the win, Southern Maine improved to 1-0-1, while Thomas fell to 2-3-

The Huskies grabbed a 1-0 lead in the eighth minute of the contest as
junior co-captain Ian Frank (Gorham, Maine) converted a feed from senior Mike

After Thomas's Dan Burdin tied the game in the 24th minute, Budelman followed

in the 30th minute.
Sophomore Zach Ansley (Tallahassee, Fla.) increased the lead to 3-1 off a
cross from freshman Jonathan Martens (Tolland, Conn.) just before halftime.

Men's Soccer Captains Named at Southern Maine
GORHAM, Maine: University of Southern Maine junior forward Ian Frank
(Gorham, Maine) and senior back Jason Kopp (Portland, Maine/Hall-Dale HS) have
been named co-captains of the 2002 men's soccer team.
"We will be asking a great deal from Ian and Jason," said third-year head
coach Eric Miller. "They have traditionally been among the hardest working
members of our program, and in this respect, they will provide an outstanding
example for the rest of the team. Equally important, this duo will be
responsible for directing our team approach on the playing field. Our overall
success will be determined by our ability to play as a team, and Jason and Ian
will need to step forward and provide the necessary guidance."
Frank, who has started 35 of 36 games during his first two years, has been
among the team's leading scorers during this time period. As a freshman, he
netted four goals and added an assist for nine points, while his career totals
currently read seven goals and one assist for 15 points. In this year's season-
opening 1-1 draw with Union, Frank scored the team's lone goal, when he bent a
free kick around the defensive wall and off the post.
While Frank has bolstered the team's offense over the past two years, Kopp
has spent the same period anchoring the team's defense. A starter in 37 of 38
contests, Kopp has helped Southern Maine blank five opponents, and register a
two-year goals against average of 2.10. A year ago, the Huskies surrendered
just 1.85 goals per game.
As a team, Southern Maine has been unable to duplicate the individual
accomplishments of Frank and Kopp. While the club has registered a two-year mark
of 7-30-2, this record is deceiving, since 11 of the losses have been by one
goal, including five in overtime.
"Our recent record is not indicative of our current potential," said
Miller. "We have made considerable progress over the past two years, and our on
the verge of making a breakthrough. Once we start winning, the team will gain
confidence and allow us to be more successful."
Following the season-opening draw with Union, Southern Maine returns to
action on Wednesday, September 11, when it concludes a two-game homestand
against St. Joseph's College. The Huskies close out the month of September with
a six-game road trip composed of games at Thomas (Sept. 14), UMaine-Farmington
(Sept. 19), Lasell College (Sept. 21), Colby-Sawyer (Sept. 26), Rhode Island
College (Sept. 28), and the University of New England (Sept. 30).
After opening the month of October with a home match against Colby (Oct.
2), the Huskies travel to Keene State (Oct. 5) and Bates (Oct. 8), before
returning home to face UMass Boston (Oct. 12), Bowdoin (Oct. 15), UMass
Dartmouth (Oct. 19), and Plymouth State (Oct. 22). Following a trip to Eastern
Connecticut (Oct. 26), the Huskies close out the month with a home date against
Salem State (Oct. 30).
Southern Maine concludes the regular season at home against Western
Connecticut (Nov. 2).
The Little East Conference Tournament will consist of the top four teams,
with a semi-final round to be held on November 6 and the championship set for
November 9.

Union, Southern Maine Play to 1-1 Draw
GORHAM, Maine -- Senior forward Chris Burns (Lowell, Mass.) capitalized
on a defensive miscue in the 77th minute to give the visiting Union College
Dutchmen a 1-1 draw with the University of Southern Maine Huskies in the season-
opening match for both teams.
Burns ran onto a loose ball that had bounced over USM freshman goalkeeper
Chris Willard (Hampton, Conn.) and placed a shot from six yards out into the
unguarded net to tie the game.
Southern Maine had taken a 1-0 lead in the 39th minute when junior forward
Ian Frank's (Gorham, Maine) curling free kick from just outside the penalty box
struck the far post and deflected into the net.
The Dutchmen carried the play through much of the second half and first
overtime period to pile up a 20-3 advantage in shots.
Willard finished the match with four saves while Union sophomore keeper
Kevin O'Connor (Reston, Va.) did not have to make a save.
Southern Maine returns to action Wednesday evening when it hosts St.
Joseph's College in an 8:00 game. Union will travel to Western New England
College for a 4:00 p.m. match on Tuesday.
