Crusaders Fall in Penalties

Eliminated from PDL Postseason with PK Loss to Brooklyn

July 26, 2008

Arthur Kulkov�s penalty kick strike sealed the deal, earning the Brooklyn Knights a 5-3 edge in penalties and ultimately advancing them in the PDL playoffs after a scoreless (0-0) game with the Cape Cod Crusaders Friday night.

Graham Munro, the Cape Cod defender who learned before the match that he had been named to the PDL�s Eastern Conference Team of the Year, got the penalty round started with a goal for the Crusaders.

However, Liam Maloney�s second-round miss would prove costly, as all five Brooklyn players netted goals.

The loss ends the Crusaders� season while the Knights advance to the second round of the United Soccer League�s Premier Development League playoffs.
