Medaille’s NCAA Run Ends in Second Round
The Mavericks lost in the second round of the NCAA tournament today, falling to (#10) Carnegie Mellon (1-0) in Pittsburgh, PA. The Mavericks came into the match with an 11 game shut-out streak (1,010 minutes) and added another (67) minutes until the Tartans were awarded a penalty kick and senior Ryan Browne (Pittsburgh, Pa./Thomas Jefferson) kicked it past sophomore Ryan Goettel (Syracuse, NY / Cicero-North Syracuse) for the lone goal of the game and the winning score. Uncharacteristically, the Mavericks were outshot in the contest (15-7) and only registered one of their seven shots on goal. The loss ends Medaille’s bid for a National Championship, and is the first time in school history that Carnegie Mellon has advanced to the Sweet 16. The Mavericks had a historic season in which it saw its captain senior Gary Boughton (Lancaster, NY / Lancaster) become the NCAA Division III all-time assists leader (82), Head Coach Dan Krzyzanowicz win his (100) game of his head coaching career, and in which the Mavs won their first ever NCAA tournament game. The Mavs finished the 2009 season with a teriffic (18-3-2) record.
