9/16/2000 5:35:50 PM | Men's Soccer
The Orangemen had many scoring opportunities, but several of their 15 shots went just wide or just high. Syracuse has now gone scoreless in its last two games.
Connor La Rose put Notre Dame on the scoreboard in the 16th minute of play when he headed a ball of Chad Riley's corner kick. Each team went scoreless for the remainder of the half.
Dustin Pridmore added to the Fighting Irish's lead in the 70th minute with a rebound goal off a shot by Erich Braun. Riley finished the scoring with a breakaway set up by a long ball from Matt Rosso.
A very physical game was marked by a combined 28 fouls, 20 by the Irish, and three yellow cards, including two cautions for Syracuse.
Forwards Guido Cristofori (Fairport, NY) and Kirk Johnson (Chester Springs, PA) had most of SU's scoring chances with a combined 11 shots.
Senior captain Kevin Bacher (East Meadow, NY) made five saves for the Orangemen in goal. His Notre Dame counterpart Greg Tait (Fayetteville, NY/Christian Brothers Academy) also made five saves for his third shutout of the season.
The Orangemen take to the road for their next BIG EAST outings. Syracuse will take on Georgetown on Friday, September 22, and West Virginia on Sunday, September 24.
