Friars' Season Comes to End

Providence Can't Get By St. John's

November 9, 2008

The Providence College men’s soccer team fell to No. 3 St. Johns, 1-0, in overtime on Saturday, concluding its season with a 9-7-3 record.

The Red Storm put the game away in overtime as Tadeu Terra eluded the Friar defense and took a 10 yard shot into the bottom right corner, giving St. John’s the 1-0 victory and moving its record to an astounding 15-1-3.

The first half was a virtual deadlock as neither team took significant advantage. PC’s first chance of the game came off a Tim Ritter (Weston, Ma.) feed to Ryan Maduro (Bristol, R.I.) who put his shot just over the Red Storm net in the sixth minute. Freshman John Raley took the Friars’ best chance of the half as his 35 yard shot deflected off the top crossbar in the 28th minute.

In the 58th minute, Maduro then sent a high cross which Ritter headed in on the goalkeeper but was punched out over the net. Later, Matt Marcin took two consecutive corner kicks in the 82nd minute both headed wide of the net by Ritter.

Friar goalkeeper Tim Murray (Haverhill, Ma.) made four saves off 13 Red Storm shots. SJU goalkeeper Neal Kitson made three saves off 12 Friar chances.
