stretch

LAKEWOOD, Colo. (GoThunderWolves.com - Oct. 10, 2010)
- The Colorado State University-Pueblo men's
soccer team learned a couple lessons after they were defeated
Friday by Colorado School of Mines. The Pack took those lessons to
the field Sunday and defeated Colorado Christian University
3-0.
The Pack struck just five minutes into the game
when a perfectly delivered longball played by Joe Schwedhelm
(Sr., Carson City, Nev.) found Sean Fitzgerald
(RJr., Fort Collins, Colo.), who immediately headed the ball across
the goal to find junior Robert Kinsey (Jr.,
Denver, Colo.) alone for the goal.
The ThunderWolves leading scorer, Dustin Geist
(RFr., Durango, Colo) scored his sixth goal this season in the 67th
minute off a great individual effort, in which he beat a defender
before burying the ball past goalkeeper Jared
Jacobs.
Brandon
Herre (Fr., Colorado Springs, Colo.) would add a third goal in
the 83rd minute to secure the game off an assist from Schwedhelm.
Schwedhelm would finish the day with two
assists.
"Overall, with the exception of late in the
first half I thought we played consistent and disciplined soccer,"
coach Stanley said. "We learned some things from Mines and put that
tactically in play today."
The ThunderWolves have an important three-game
stretch over the next five days that could determine playoff
positioning. The Pack play host to UCCS wednesday night at 7 p.m.
at Rawlings Sports Complex, and head to Regis and Mesa State in the
weekend series.
The ThunderWolves are currently fourth in the
RMAC just ahead of Regis, who is only one-point
behind.
