Game Recap: Men's Soccer |

Lightning Fall 3-0 to Hopkins in the NCAA Tournament

In the first ever meeting between the two schools, Lehman fell 3-0 to John's Hopkins in the opening round of the NCAA Men's Soccer Tournament. 

Post game interview with Coach Gojcevic and Demiraldo Grunasi.

 
The Jays got on the board in the 21st minute when they capitalized on a penalty kick converted by Tim Treinen.    Seven minutes from the half, Hopkins doubled their lead as Scotty Coleman beat Lehman goal keeper Demiraldo Grunasi off an assist from Jacob Hammond.  Hopkins closed out the scoring in the 88th minute as Jonathan Cui found the back of the net off a feed from Axel Whamond.
 
Grunasi was busy all night as the senior was credited with seven saves while the Jays outshot the Lightning 22-4 and dominated in time of possession.

"We played well the first 20-25 minutes until the penalty kick," commented Coach Toma Gojcevic who has taken the Lightning to a total of three NCAA Tournaments.  "When you get behind against a team like Hopkins it is extremely difficult to get back in the game.  They play a strong possession based style and you're constantly chasing the game."

The Lightning conclude their season with a record of 10-5-2.  Meanwhile Hopkins improves to 13-1-7 and will face the winner of the Scranton/John Carroll match tomorrow at 6 PM
