Purchase, NY (September 8, 2012) – Senior Padraic Farrell and junior Adam Berish each scored second-half goals leading the DeSales University men's soccer team past Brooklyn College, 2-0, in opening game of the Valiants Classic held at Manhattanville College on Saturday evening.

The game was delayed more than two hours as storms passed thru the area.  After a scoreless first half and start to the second half, DeSales (2-1-1) finally broke thru in the 60th minute.

Farrell scored first, connecting on a free kick into the right corner of the goalmouth.  Just 30 seconds later, Berish cashed in the insurance goal, knocking in a cross from freshman Stevie Castellani at the 59:38 mark to make it a two-goal game.

Sophomore Damien Romaine made the only save necessary in recording his first career shutout in his first career start.

The Bulldogs return to action tomorrow afternoon when they take on Western New England University in the second game of the Valiants Classic beginning at 6:00 pm.
