Macs Fall In Overtime Opener To Albright, 1-0

Box Score

IMMACULATA, Pa.- The Immaculata men's soccer team kicked off their 2017 regular season on Friday night under the lights in front of a great crowd at Draper Walsh Stadium and they played Albright scoreless for the first 90 minutes, but the Lions would take the non-conference contest with a goal in the 98th minute to deal IU the 1-0 defeat.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED: The teams played a quiet first half with neither side generating much offense, but the pace picked up in the second half as each side generated chances.  The Lions broke through with the game-winner in the 98th minute on a goal from Anthony Parlato when he ripped a shot from about 20 yards out to the lower left corner of the goal.
 
INSIDE THE NUMBERS: Albright held the advantage in shots 12-11, while the teams were level in corner kicks 5-5.
 
IMMACULATA LEADERS: Sophomore Michael D'Orio came off the bench to deliver a team-high three shots while D'Orio, senior Ben Gialloreto, sophomore Connor Lindsay and freshman Chad Catalana all had one shot on goal each.
 
ALBRIGHT LEADERS: Parlato had the game-winner along with a team-high six shots, three of them on goal.
 
IN GOAL: Freshman Mikey Kalpokas had a strong debut making three saves in the cage.
