SPORTS NEWS HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY HEMPSTEAD, NEW YORK 11549-1090 ATHLETIC COMMUNICATIONS PHYSICAL FITNESS CENTER (516) 463-6759 FAX: (516) 463-5033 Jeremy.S.Kniffin@Hofstra.edu 2007 HOFSTRA MEN S SOCCER WEEKLY NOTES (3-6-2, 2-2 CAA) Oct. 19-21 (at James Madison, at Virginia Commonwealth) Streaks, Stats, and Storylines: Freshman forward Johannes Grahn was named the CAA Player of the Week after scoring four goals in the Pride s weekend sweep of Georgia State (2-0) and UNC Wilmington (3-0). Grahn is currently tied for the CAA lead with eight goals this season. Hofstra has 10 straight wins in CAA home games after winning both games last weekend, and is also unbeaten in its 13 CAA games at home (12-0-1). George Mason was the last team to avoid defeat at Hofstra (a 0-0 tie in 2005) and was also the last team to win at Hofstra (2-1 in 2004). The Pride dropped a narrow 2-0 decision to #4 UConn on Sept. 12 (the Huskies sealed the win with a breakaway in the 89 th minute). Hofstra, though, is still 11-4-1 in its last 16 games against ranked teams, dating back to 2004. The four losses have all been road games against teams in the top seven, including NCAA Tournament defeats to Maryland (2004) and Wake Forest (2006). Hofstra had a dramatic come-from-behind win over San Diego on Sept. 14, when it came back from a 3-1 deficit with 10 minutes to play to win 4-3 in overtime. Chris Cox and Ray Hassett scored goals in the final 10 minutes of regulation, and John Alberda converted his first collegiate goal in overtime to give Hofstra the win. Hofstra has won the last three Colonial Athletic Association championships. The Pride is one of only three men s soccer teams in the nation that have won their last three conference titles, along with New Mexico (Mountain Pacific) and Western Illinois (Summit League). Hofstra has still never lost a CAA Tournament game since joining the league in 2002 (compiling a 6-0-1 record with a penalty kick victory over George Mason in last year s title game in the only tie). Hofstra was picked to finish second in the CAA in a preseason vote of the conference s coaches. Senior midfielder Chris Cox and junior defender Corey Gudmundson were named to the Preseason All-CAA team. Senior midfielder Chris Cox and senior goalkeeper Tom Johansen have a chance to conclude their Hofstra careers this year with four conference championships. Senior midfielder Charalambos Rossides can also win the fourth conference title in his career, including one at New Mexico in 2004 before transferring to Hofstra.

Last Weekend: Hofstra got back on track with a pair of key CAA home wins, defeating Georgia State 2-0 on Friday and UNC Wilmington 3-0 on Sunday. Freshman forward Johannes Grahn (Tibro, Sweden) was the story of the weekend, tallying a pair of two-goal games. Grahn scored both Pride goals in its 2-0 win over Georgia State, and had two other shots cleared off the line by Panther defenders. He then scored the first and the third goals in the win over UNC Wilmington. Senior forward Ray Hassett (Bay Shore, NY) had a big second half against UNC Wilmington, scoring the Pride s second goal off a direct kick and then setting up the third goal from Grahn when he beat a Seahawk defender one-on-one, turned the corner along the end line, and slotted a pass through the box to Grahn. Sophomore midfielder Rob Youhill (Harrogate, England) set up both game-winning goals with crosses, finding junior midfielder Justin Flood (Hauppauge, NY) for a flick header to Grahn against Georgia State and then finding Grahn directly against UNC Wilmington. Tom Johansen (Northport, NY) had one save against Georgia State and two against UNC Wilmington. A Dramatic Comeback: Hofstra had one of the most dramatic wins in its history as it came back from a 3-1 deficit with 10 minutes to play to defeat San Diego 4-3 in overtime on Friday, Sept. 14. The Pride started its comeback when senior midfielder Chris Cox (Nottingham, England) shook free in the box and got on the back end of a cross from sophomore back Bill Pinto (Audobon, NJ). Cox settled the ball from 12 yards out and tucked a shot into the upper left corner for his first goal of the year with 8:28 to play. Senior forward Ray Hassett (Bay Shore, NY) then provided plenty of heroics as he saved a ball off the goal line and then tied the score in a span of less than one minute. San Diego s Ryan Peterman had a breakaway in the 85 th minute that freshman goalkeeper Mike Arnold (Newtown, PA) came out to challenge. Arnold was able to block the shot, but it still had enough momentum to get through towards the goal. Hassett, though, came sprinting back and managed to head the ball off the goal line just before it crossed over. With 3:47 to play, Hassett used his head at the other end of the field, flicking a long service from sophomore back Richard Martinez (Highland, NY) under the crossbar to knot the score up at 3-3. The Pride took advantage of the second life as freshman John Alberda (East Northport, NY) converted the winner in overtime. Hofstra Takes #1 UConn To Final Minutes: The Hofstra Men s Soccer team took UConn down to the final minutes of regulation before eventually falling 2-0 on Wednesday, Sept. 12. UConn was ranked fourth at the time, and is the current #1 in all four major polls. The game was in doubt until the Huskies converted on a breakaway in the 89 th minute to pick up the second goal. UConn held a narrow 18-15 edge in shots, while Husky goalkeeper Josh Ford needed to make nine saves to get the shutout. He also got help from his proverbial best friend as senior midfielder Chris Cox (Nottingham, England) cranked a shot off the post in the opening minute of the second half. Ford also stopped Cox twice with diving saves on direct kicks in the first half. Ford had two more diving saves in the final seven minutes, denying senior forward Ray Hassett (Bay Shore, NY) and sophomore midfielder Rory McCrea (Sherburn- In-Elmet, England). UConn is currently 12-1-1 on the season. Grahn Named Player Of The Week: Freshman forward Johannes Grahn (Tibro, Sweden) was named the Colonial Athletic Association Men s Soccer Player of the Week on Monday after tallying four goals in the Pride s two wins. Grahn is now tied for the CAA lead with eight goals, matching Georgia State s Floreal Pedrazo. Grahn showed his scoring prowess right from the get-go this year, scoring three times in the Pride s two exhibition wins and then finding the net in the regular season opener at Oakland. Pride In Rare Company: The Hofstra Men s Soccer team earned its third straight conference championship and NCAA Tournament berth in 2006, capturing the CAA title on penalty kicks over George Mason. The Pride had never appeared in the Division I Tournament prior to 2004, when it when on a Cinderella run as the fifth seed in the six-team CAA Tournament to capture the title, defeating three nationally ranked teams in a span of five days (UNC Wilmington, VCU, Old Dominion). In 2005, Hofstra was the second seed and defeated seventh-ranked Old Dominion 1-0 in the championship game for the second year in a row, scoring the game-winning goal with only eight seconds left in regulation. Only three teams in the entire country have won three straight conference titles from 2004-06 (see chart below). School Hofstra Western Illinois New Mexico NCAA Division I Men s Soccer 2004-06 Conference Champions Conference CAA Summit League Mountain Pacific Striving For Four-For-Four: Senior midfielder Chris Cox (Nottingham, England) and senior goalkeeper Tom Johansen (Northport, NY) have a chance to accomplish something rather remarkable this fall. If Cox and Johansen are able to lead Hofstra to the CAA title, they will conclude their careers by participating on four conference championship teams. The Pride s other three seniors (Ray Hassett, Adrian Papaluca, Charalambos Rossides) all transferred to Hofstra, although Rossides won a conference title with New Mexico as a freshman in 2004. Pride Picked Second: Hofstra was picked to finish second in the Colonial Athletic Association in a preseason vote of the conference s coaches, it was announced on August 14. Old Dominion was picked to finish first, earning nine of 11 first-place votes (Hofstra and Towson received the other two) after winning the CAA regular season title in 2006 and advancing to the third round of the NCAA Tournament. Home, Sweet Home: Hofstra finished the 2006 season with an 8-1 home record, capturing its eighth straight win with a 2-0 victory over Providence. In 2005, the Pride was undefeated at home in the regular season, tallying a 6-0-2 record, before falling to Providence in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The Pride dropped its 2006 home opener to Columbia 1-0, its first regular season home loss since a 2-1 defeat to George Mason in 2004, but won nine straight before Loyola ended the streak with a 1-0 win on Sept. 16. Hofstra is 18-3-2 in its last 23 home games, and has won 10 straight CAA home games.

Alberda Honored After First Goal: Freshman forward John Alberda (East Northport, NY) was named the Colonial Athletic Association Rookie of the Week on Monday, Sept. 17 after scoring his first collegiate goal with 4:04 left in the first overtime session to give Hofstra a 4-3 win over San Diego on Sept. 14. The game-winner was set up when senior midfielder Chris Cox (Nottingham, England) had his back to goal, shielding a Torero defender. Alberda then made a run towards the right post and Cox laid the ball off to his left. Alberda one-timed a strike that tucked inside the right post for his first collegiate goal. Using His Head: Senior forward Ray Hassett (Bay Shore, NY) had a key role in the Pride s dramatic 4-3 comeback win over San Diego on Sept. 14. Hassett had key headers at both ends of the field less that a minute apart at the end of regulation. With the score 3-2 in favor of San Diego, Hassett raced back to head a ball off the goal line after freshman goalkeeper Mike Arnold (Newtown, PA) deflected a breakaway attempt. Less than a minute later, Hassett tied the score 3-3 when he flicked a 12-yard header under the crossbar after a midfield service from sophomore defender Richard Martinez (Highland, NY). It was Hassett s tenth collegiate goal, including his second as a member of the Pride. Arnold Makes First Appearance: Freshman goalkeeper Mike Arnold (Newtown, PA) made his first appearance in his collegiate career when he came on in relief in the Pride s 4-3 win over San Diego on Sept. 14. Arnold came on with the score 3-1 and had two saves to get the win. He also made a key play when he came off his line to stop a breakaway attempt in the 85 th minute, slowing the ball down enough that senior forward Ray Hassett (Bay Shore, NY) could get back into the play and head the ball off the goal line. Arnold earned the start in the Pride s next game against Loyola, and fell on the short end of a 1-0 score, although he helped coordinate a defense that allowed only one shot in the first 79 minutes of regulation. The Greyhounds lone goal came on a set piece on a perfectly placed volley from 10-yards out. Cox, Gudmundson Honored By CAA: Senior midfielder Chris Cox (Nottingham, England) and junior defender Corey Gudmundson (Dallas, TX) were named to the 2007 Preseason All-CAA team in a vote of the league s coaches. Cox is a two-time first-team All-CAA selection, while Gudmundson has started every game in his Hofstra career and was a CAA All-Tournament team selection last fall. Injury Bug Bites At Strange Times: Remarkably, Hofstra lost two starters to separate injuries during pre-game warmups prior to its game at Stony Brook on Friday, Sept. 7. Joseph Amendolare (Greenlawn, NY) and Jamal Neptune (East Windsor, NJ) went down with non-contact injuries 20 minutes apart, leaving the Pride without both of its outside backs for the game (which Stony Brook went on to win 3-1). Sophomore Bill Pinto (Audobon, NJ) stepped in and made his first career start, while senior midfielder Charlambos Rossides (Nicosia, Cyprus) started at center back, moving sophomore Richard Martinez (Highland, NY) to an outside back position. Neptune and Amendolare both missed the next four games, before returning in relief roles against Fairleigh Dickinson on Sept. 22. Pride Well Represented In Thailand: Three members of the Hofstra Men s Soccer team participated for Great Britain at the World University Games in August. Senior midfielder Chris Cox (Nottingham, England), and sophomore midfielders Rob Youhill (Harrogate, England) and Rory McCrea (Sherburn-in-Elmet, England) were all consistent contributors for the Great Britain side, which won its pool with a 2-0-1 record in its first three games (defeating Kazakhstan and Morocco while tying Mexico) before finishing eighth overall in the 16-team field. 2006 alumnus Michael Todd (Cleveland, England) was also a member of the squad. Hofstra vs. Ranked Teams: Despite dropping a 2-0 decision to fourth-ranked Connecticut on Sept. 12, the Pride is still currently in the middle of a remarkable recent stretch of success in games against nationally ranked teams over the last three years. Hofstra is now 11-4-1 in its last 16 games against ranked opponents. The stretch started with a 2-1 win over James Madison (ranked 15 th ) in the 2004 regular season and continued with postseason wins over UNC Wilmington, Virginia Commonwealth, Old Dominion and Seton Hall. In 2005, Hofstra was 3-1 against ranked teams, while a year ago, it compiled a 3-1-1 mark. All four losses in that span have been to top seven teams on the road (#7 Maryland, #3 Old Dominion, #3 Wake Forest, #4 Connecticut), including two (Maryland in 2004, Wake Forest in 2006) in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

The Pride defeated both teams in the CAA semifinals in recent years, edging VCU 1-0 in 2004 on the road, and then defeating James Madison 3-2 in overtime in 2005 at Old Dominion. Hofstra has in fact won the last five meetings with James Madison, including two on the road in Harrisonburg. The Pride is also unbeaten (2-0-1) in its last three meetings with VCU, including a 0-0 overtime tie in its last trip to Richmond in the 2005 season. Last year, Hofstra met both teams at home and came away with a 1-0 win over James Madison and a 2-1 comeback win over Virginia Commonwealth.
