April 13, 2008

CINCINNATI - The University of Cincinnati men's soccer team hosted the University of Dayton Flyers on Sunday afternoon (Apr. 13). The Bearcats behind two goals in the second half defeated the Flyers 2-1.

Cincinnati took control of play for the majority of first half, holding a 3-1 shot advantage.

Dayton scored the opening goal in the 31st minute on a header which came off of a set piece, twenty yards out. The ball was deflected in the box and headed home by the Flyer forward.

UC came out in the second half and quickly tied the game in the 51st minute. Nick Weightman (Lanark, Scotland/St. Aidans) scored in front of the goalie off of a corner taken by Judson McKinney (Cuyahoga Falls, OH/Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy).

In the 74th minute Branden Stelmak (Broadview Heights, OH/Brecksville-Broadview Heights) capitalized on a run out and a well placed ball by Weightman, to score the winning goal in the match.

Cincinnati ended the match with a 14-4 advantage in shots.

Head Coach Hylton Dayes on the Bearcat victory, "We're certainly pleased with how the game ended. Dayton is a good team and when we went down a goal, we weren't really playing poorly. We needed to make a few adjustments to create a few more goal scoring chances."

Cincinnati travels to Indianapolis to play IUPUI in the Literacy Classic on April 18, scheduled for a 7 p.m. kick.
