Dom Mondi scored two goals in a span of 4:35 in the second half
to give Assumption College a 2-0 victory over Queens College in the
Knights 2010 home opener on Sunday afternoon.
Danny Stoker had a golden opportunity to give QC a lead just
3:08 in but his breakaway shot was kicked aside by Assumption
goalkeeper Brandan Sullivan. That was but one of the Knights
nine first half shots but despite their edge in play the game
remained scoreless after 45 minutes.
It took only 5:49 of play for Mondi to put Assumption on top
1-0. Mondi came away with the ball after a scrum in the top left
side of the box and put his shot behind Demetrios Tourous of QC to
break the stalemate. Four minutes and 35 seconds later, Mike
Wieczorek attempted to play the ball back to keeper Tourous but
Mondi picked off the pass and found a wide open net for his second
goal of the half.
QC attempted to mount a rally and had three opportunities to
score in rapid succession in the 81st minute. First, Christos
Koulaklis had the ball go between his legs in the box with a wide
open net in front of him. Moments later, Koulaklis hit the crossbar
from inside the box and Danny Stoker put the carom over the
net.
Tourous made five stops and Stoker attempted a team high six
shots for the Knights, who dropped to 0-2 on the season.
