team, allowed just 33 goals in 16 games and
recorded two shutouts.
SOLD OUT— If you haven't taken the time

Lehigh takes second in tournament;
Udell named Patriot Player of the Year
By MATT WINKLER
Sports Information Assistant
ANNAPOLIS, MD - Lehigh's first taste
of Patriot League championship soccer
action may well have been as bitter as the
cold winds that blew of the Chesapeake
Bay.
Army's Brian Loftin scored twice,
the first late in the first half to break a
scoreless deadlock and open the
floodgates on a 4-0 rout Sunday for the
Cadets' first Patriot League crown since
the League's comce.ption two years ago.
The Engineers, who got ot the final
via a dramatic 5-3 shootout victory over
Lafayette Saturday, played without junior
midfielder Scott Chinitz, out with sprained
knee suffered in the win over Lafayette.
Still, Lehigh dominated most of the first
half of the championship game — except
for a brief letdown that allowed Lofton to
fire a wide-open blast from the edge of the
goal mouth past diving Lehigh keeper
Mike Zovistoski. The goal gave the Cadets
a 1-0 edge at halftime.
"We came out the aggressor and looked
good for a while," said Engineer head
coach John McCloskey. "That first goal
shocked us...and we neverfully recovered."

Army came out firing in the second half,
scoring two goals in the first 13 minutes of the
half. Forward John Ross, who also tallied an
assist on the afternoon, acounted for the first
goal at 52:56 after finishing off a series of
rebound shots inside the Lehigh goal mouth.
Loftin started the action by blasting a shot off
the cross bar which was then deflected back at
Zovistoksi by Ross. Zovistoski made a
spectacular stop but was unable to control it as
Ross followed up his rebound with a blast into
the uper left corner.
Loftin got his second goal five minutes
later and forward Tong Zang tallied the capper
in the final sixniinutes.
Army goalkeeper Lucas Rice recorded
two saves while Zovistoski accounted for
seven.
Zovistoski felt the team won't let the
the tough loss affect an otherwise very
successful season.
"We had a super year — no question
about it," said Zovistoski, who was voted
the first-team All-Patriot League goalie.
"Army had a talented team and had
everything going for them today...we just
couldn't do much about it."
Another positive note for Lehigh was
the announcement that senior sweeper
Andy Udell was voted Patriot League
Most Valuable Player, an award voted on
by the League's coaches.
"Andy was fantastic this year,"
McCloskey said. "He gave us leadership,
stability and everything we asked for."
Other all-league selections for Lehigh
joining Udell and Zovistoski included
leading scorer Evan Stein, who. along
with Scott Chinitz finished the year with
nine goals and four assists to lead the
Patriot League.
