WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

  • Hartwick began the game against the Pioneers with high intensity and carried it throughout the day.  Both teams were eager to get out ahead first as offsides were called on both teams in the first six minutes.

  • The back line was put to the test as the Pioneers began to push down the field, Ramon Irizarry(Greenwood Lake, N.Y.) and Rodrigo Fernandez(Leon, Mexico) each squandering chances from the Utica attack.

  • Time was spent vying for possession as the Hawks continued to swarm the opposition and keep them at bay while they tried to craft an attack of their own. Jim Mahony(Bournemouth, England) had a couple of promising runs after battling through several Pioneers to set the tone.

  • Hartwick did a good job controlling the middle of the pitch and creating space for passing lanes, they were awarded their first corner at 36 minutes that put some pressure on the defense.

  • Having some momentum from the earlier attack, the team pushed down the field, Sean Burke(West Midlands, England) was able to cross a dangerous ball into the box and Timmy McQueeney(Wading River, N.Y.) was able to swoop in and score in the 42nd minute.

  • The opposition attempted to answer back in the closing seconds of the half but the chance was saved by Dante Gesamondo(Lynnfield, Mass.) as he picked up two saves in the half.

  • The second half was underway and the Hawk defense remained locked in, Jose Moreno(San Luis Potosi, Mexico) and Jace Riegel(Owego, N.Y.) did a great job in space with well timed tackles and clearing the ball with success.

  • Time went on and the Hawks still held a firm grasp on their lead, majority of the half was spent exchanging fouls as time began to dwindle.

  • Kwame Amissah-Arthur(Federal Way, Wash.) would sink in a late goal after a wonderful pass into the box from Daniel Kniffen(New Paltz, N.Y) in the 88th minute to secure the victory for the Hawks.
