RUTHERFORD, N.J. – A goal by Billy Curran less than two minutes into
the first overtime period allowed Wilmington University to defeat
the Caldwell College men’s soccer team, 1-0 in the semifinals of the
Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Tournament Wednesday
afternoon at Tryon Field. The Cougars end their season with a record
of 10-6-4, while the Wildcats (12-5-1) advance to Saturday’s final
against Holy Family University.
After a scoreless 90 minutes, the Cougars were called for a handball
deep in their own territory early in the first overtime session.
Wilmington’s Fatoma Turay sent his free kick from the right side to
the far post, where Curran ran onto the ball and headed it home for
the game-winner in the 92nd minute. Junior goalkeeper
John Plaugic (Kearny, NJ/Kearny) made three saves, while
Wilmington’s Dan Mangat recorded four saves for the shutout.
The loss ends the careers of seniors Matt Broderick (West
Keansburg, NJ/Raritan), Andrew Fraser (Kingston, Jamaica/Wolmer’s),
Nicholas Harriott (St. Catherine, Jamaica/Campion) and Jan
Marco Jiras (Lima, Peru). The four seniors won 47 games in their
careers, the most in a four-year period in the history of the men’s
soccer program at Caldwell.
