Wilkes-Barre, PA (October 14, 2006) – The DeSales University men’s soccer team was blanked for the second time in three games falling to Wilkes University, 1-0, in a Freedom Conference game on Saturday afternoon.

 

        The Bulldogs (8-4-2, 3-2 Freedom) had several chances to get on the scoreboard in the game but were unable to do so.  DSU out-shot Wilkes (11-3, 5-0 Freedom), 12-11, and held a slim 8-7 edge in corner kicks but the Colonels scored at 55:26 of the second half to break a scoreless tie and held on for the important conference victory.

 

        Steve Uhas tallied the game-winner as his head ball off a corner kick pass from Matt Foreman deflected off the back of a DSU defender’s leg and into the net.  Junior Rusty Riedmiller (Stroudsburg, PA/Stroudsburg) made six saves in between the pipes for the Bulldogs, while Dominik Proctor had three stops for the Colonels.
