Greyhounds Get Back On Winning Track

BETHLEHEM, Pa. - The Moravian men's soccer team snapped a five-match losing streak with a 2-1 come-from-behind victory over Wesley College in non-conference action on the HUB Quad.

The Wolverines, who were delayed in traffic forcing the match to begin 40 minutes late, jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the third minute when Justin Lambert headed in a corner kick by Jamie Shure for his first goal of the season.

The Greyhounds would eventually tie the match in the 68th minute when sophomore midfielder Blake Ritchey took a short pass from freshman midfielder Brian Hunscher, turned and snapped a 16-yard shot into the right corner of the net for Ritchey's third goal of the year. Moravian scored the game-winning goal in the 82nd minute when sophomore defender Gary Grimes hit a long clearing pass to junior forward Louis Dollarton to set up a breakaway. Dollarton would stop and chip a shot just under the cross bar in the upper left corner of the net for his third goal and second game-winner of the year.

The Greyhounds had a 12-7 advantage in shots and a 7-3 edge in corner kicks. Moravian junior goalie Chris Nederostek posted two saves for his first win of the season while Wesley keeper Nick Talarico had four saves in the match.
