MANCHESTER,
N.H. - A goal by senior defender Kagiso Rhenoster (Mafikeng,
South Africa/Mmbatho) in the 74th minute broke a 1-1 tie and allowed
the Caldwell College men's soccer team to defeat St. Anselm College,
2-1 in the first game of the Southern New Hampshire Tournament
Thursday afternoon at St. Anselm's Melucci Field. The non-conference
game was the 2008 season opener for both teams.
The Hawks scored the first goal of the game in the 13th minute, when
Jeff Dell'Orfano took a pass from Sam Lamptey and beat Cougar
goalkeeper John Plaugic (Kearny, NJ/Kearny) for a 1-0 lead.
In the 38th minute, freshman forward Jonathan Costa
(Mississauga, Ontario/Philip Pocock) notched his first collegiate
goal to tie the game at 1-1. Then with just less than 17 minutes to
play in the second half, Rhenoster blasted a shot into the upper
right corner of the goal to put Caldwell ahead to stay. It was
Rhenoster's first career game-winning goal.
Plaugic made three saves for the Cougars to preserve the win, while
St. Anselm's John Corridan was credited with one save.
Caldwell plays at Southern New Hampshire University on Saturday,
August 30, beginning at 1:00 p.m.
