    Men’s Soccer Secures #3 Seed With 7-0 Win Over USI

    ST. CHARLES, Mo. – Lindenwood men’s soccer (10-5-3, 6-2-2 OVC) blanks Southern Indiana (2-14-2, 1-7-2 OVC) by a final score of 7-0 on senior day at Hunter Stadium. The Lions finish their 2024 regular season with 10 wins, their most since 2017. Their six conference wins are also their most in the Division I era and most since 2021.

    “It’s always great when you get so many guys involved especially the seniors,” said head coach Kris Bertsch. “Those guys played a lot of minutes and then we were able to get to our bench and really empty it. The guys kept going and that is great, it is great when they find success.”

    After Sunday’s results in the Ohio Valley Conference, Lindenwood will be the #3 seed heading into the OVC Championships next weekend hosted on the campus of SIUE in Edwardsville, Ill. LU will take on the #6 seed Western Illinois on Sunday, Nov. 10th at 1:00 p.m. CT. Click here to see the full tournament field.

    Lindenwood capped off their 2024 regular season with seven goals, their most of the season and second most in the Division I era. The Lions have now scored 37 goals this season, the most by an LU team since 2018.

    Bertsch’s squad was all offense on Sunday posting 21 total shots with 13 landing on net. Of the seven goals, Lindenwood had six different scorers and six different players with an assist. Southern Indiana was stifled on offense posting only four shots with none on-goal. Enzo Gil earned his seventh shutout this season marking the most by a Lindenwood goalie in a season since Fermin Hughes in 2012.

    The first half saw Lindenwood start the scoring festivities early with a Jermaine Mentoor goal during the 5th minute after a Southern Indiana defender knocked the ball to him off a corner kick. Mentoor, a senior, scored his third goal of the season and is one of nine players to have multiple goals this year.

    Now Bijou also scored his third goal of the season during the 35th minute of action. He was assisted by Henrique Perestrelo, both were honored on senior day. The Lions had seven of their 21 shots in the first half.

    Lindenwood’s offense ramped up the pace in the second half scoring five goals. John Gates posted his fourth of the season on a penalty kick after being fouled in the box during the 49th minute. Ethan Blake later missed his first penalty kick of the season and is now 3-4 on the year.

    Mekhi Wright got in the scoring column for the year with his first goal during the 63rd minute. On the left-side of the box, Anis Smajlovic and Jens Haukeland made two passes that left Wright open for the shot. Snajlovic would then score just over one minute later and was assisted by Blake.

    Haukeland was able to score his second goal of the season during the 77th minute and was assisted by Jozef Palushaj. Smajlovic scored his second and final goal of the game during the 89th minute and was assisted by Luke Neely and Palushaj. The Lions have now scored over five goal three times this season with all of them coming inside Hunter Stadium.

    Lindenwood will now wait til next Sunday to take on the Leathernecks of Western Illinois in Edwardsville, Ill at 1:00 p.m. CT. For more information go to lindenwoodlions.com.

  • No. 20 Penn men’s soccer secures spot in Ivy League tournament with win over Dartmouth

    No. 20 Penn men’s soccer secures spot in Ivy League tournament with win over Dartmouth

    In a clash of colors, the Red and Blue prevailed over the Big Green with a 3-2 triumph on senior day. In fitting fashion, it was three seniors who made the difference on the night. No. 20 Penn men’s soccer’s (11-2-1, 5-0 Ivy) win over Dartmouth (5-6-3, 2-2-1 Ivy) protects its perfect record at Rhodes Field during regular season play. 

    The Red and Blue got off to a quick start with the first goal scored just two minutes into the match when a Penn corner deflected off the Dartmouth defense and found senior forward Stas Korzeniowski. Korzeniowski was able to hook the ball cleanly into the back of the net for his 11th of the season. 

    “I’m so glad that I was able to put my stamp on the game as early as I did, and that also builds confidence in the group to keep chasing another goal,” Korzeniowski said. 

    Dartmouth gained some momentum with dangerous positioning in the box in the 8th minute, but were unable to capitalize. Another opportunity for the Big Green arose following a pass between Penn defense that was intercepted, but the shot went wide. After more back and forth and few shots on goal, the silence was broken when a cross reached Penn sophomore Jack-Ryan Jeremiah in the box, but the following shot was parried by Dartmouth goalie Costi Christodoulou. 

    With 20 minutes remaining in the half, Penn offense picked up speed with a series of threatening possessions in the box. A chaotic few minutes of Quaker control ended with nothing to show for their efforts, when a foul called on Penn senior midfielder Brandon Curran cut the Big Green a break allowing them to clear the ball from further dangerous opportunities for the Quakers. 

    In response, a dangerous cross found Dartmouth forward Trenton Blake, but Penn sophomore goalie Phillip Falcon III was able to secure the save.  

    The game slowed down momentarily, with both team’s defensive efforts preventing any threatening opportunities despite the back and forth and physical nature of the game. 

    Penn’s patience paid off when a yellow card on Dartmouth defender Sebastián Mañón, drawn by Korzeniowski, resulted in a free kick for the Quakers. With just under five in the half, the kick found freshman forward Romeo Dahlen who was able to dish it to senior defender Leo Burney inside the six for a shot that extended the lead for the Red and Blue. 

    The second half started slow, with possession by both teams but little activity near goal. There was no doubt, however, that Dartmouth was looking to increase intensity and make up their deficit. The first shot of the half came from Penn junior forward Jack Wagoner, missing wide. On the counter, Dartmouth forward Douglas Arveskär got off a shot on goal that Falcon was fortunately able to get a hand on.

    The Red and Blue were not as lucky with the next Dartmouth shot though, when Dartmouth forward Vasilis Moiras was able to find the back of the net from far out in the 54th minute. Just ten minutes later, a quick shift to Dartmouth possession and slight breakdown in Penn defense meant Moiras was again able to take advantage yet again, tying the game for the Big Green with a second goal. 

    With 25 minutes left in the match, the Quakers offensive efforts again were rewarded when a perfectly placed corner found Penn senior midfielder Brandon Curran who was able to finish from the center of the six. 

    The Big Green attempted to retaliate with another shot from Moiras headed for the top center of the net, but Falcon was able to protect the Quaker lead with another save. Minutes later, Moiras tried again from far left, but the shot went straight to Falcon. 

    Penn dropped back with under ten minutes left, and the Red and Blue defense was able to hold off the last ditch efforts of the Big Green. In the last three minutes, the Quakers regained control of the ball and were able to comfortably finish the game, defending their undefeated record at home and clinching coach Brian Gill’s 50th career win for the program. 

    “5-0 [in Ivy Play] is as good as it can get five games in. And we want to host the Ivy League tournament here, so we also want to go and win the regular season,” Korzeniowski said. “Our approach is the same as it has been every game, taking one game at a time, slowly climbing the mountain, and hopefully we find ourselves in the position that we’ve been aspiring to.”

    The Quakers have lofty goals and have two more Ivy battles to conquer, with a game at Yale on Saturday next up.
