Men beat Lycoming 1-0 on thrilling goal

The UR men shot and shot and shot some more last night against Lycoming College, and for over a half, the score remained 0-0.

Max Eberhardt's goal, assisted by Max Fan, was the game winner against Lycoming College
But ten minutes into the second, the Max-duo came through for UR on a tremendous play. Forward Max Fan ('14) took a corner kick from the left side of the field and placed the ball right in front of the net. Max Eberhardt ('12) then headed the ball into the net for the lone goal of the game.

The goal was Eberhardt's third goal of the season and third goal in the past three games. It was Fan's first assist of the year.

The low score does not do justice to how well UR played. They had countless opportunities to score, but Lycoming goalie Connor Keenan made a couple of very nice saves.

UR also outshot Lycoming 18-1, and prevented Lycoming from taking a shot until deep into the second half.

For their performances on the game-winning goal, the Jackets' Nest Players of the Game are Max Eberhardt ('12) and Max Fan ('14). Fan kicked a beautiful ball into the box where Eberhardt met it for a beautiful header goal.
