MSU earns weekend split

September 13, 2005

The MSU men's soccer team split a pair of weekend games at the Michigan Invitational in Ann Arbor, defeating Long Island 2-1 on Friday before losing 1-0 to Louisville on Sunday.

Sophomore forward Kenzo Webster scored off an assist from senior midfielder John Kaczmarek in the sixth minute on Friday to give MSU an early lead.

Freshman forward Doug DeMartin then scored the eventual game winner less than six minutes later off a corner kick from senior midfielder Ryan McMahen.

Long Island scored in the 86th minute, but couldn't get the equalizer.

On Sunday, MSU outshot Louisville 14-6, but couldn't find the back of the net with either of the two shots that were on target.

McMahen paced the Spartans with five total shots and had the only two shots on net.

Louisville's goal was scored by back Frank Jonke in the 59th minute of play. The goal was assisted by midfielder Nick Rice-Sarantis.

The loss dropped the Spartans' season record to 2-1-1.

The Spartans will be back in action at 7:30 p.m. on Friday against Yale in the Yale University Tournament and then again at 11 a.m. on Sunday against Dartmouth.
