Men's Soccer Ties Yale, 1-1

Sept. 11, 2005

NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- The Providence College men's soccer team recorded a 1-1 double-overtime tie with Ivy League foe Yale on Sunday, September 11 at New Haven, Conn. With the tie, the Friars remained undefeated on the season with a 2-0-2 record. It marks the first time Providence has been undefeated through the first four games of the season since 1993.

Yale's Tyler Guse registered the first goal of the game in the 41st minute when he kicked in a shot in front of the goal after a scramble for the ball.

With 7:36 remaining in the game, Yale was poised to add an insurance goal as Gage Hills broke in on Friar junior goalkeeper Chris Konopka (Toms River, N.J.), but Konopka made a sliding stop on the breakaway to keep Providence within one goal. PC gained momentum from the play and added the equalizer with just 2:36 left in regulation. Freshman Tim Ritter (Weston, Mass.) scored the Friars' only goal when he booted in a cross from sophomore Ryan Maduro (Bristol, R.I.).

The Friars had several scoring opportunities in the two overtime periods, but could not get a shot past Yale goalkeeper Erik Geiger, who finished with three saves.

Konopka recorded four saves and improved his record to 2-0-2 on the season. In four games, he has allowed just two goals.

Providence will return to action on Friday, September 16 at Louisville at 7:00 p.m. in the Friars' BIG EAST opener.
