Men’s Soccer Extends Win Streak to Five With Shutout of Bryant

Bronx, N.Y. – Fordham's Janos Loebe netted the game's lone goal in the 71^st minute, while Rashid Nuhu made two saves in net, as the Rams shut out the Bryant Bulldogs, 1-0, on Alumni Day at Jack Coffey Field on Saturday afternoon.
 
With the win, Fordham improved to 6-2-1 on the year, and have now won five straight contests for the first time since 2009.  Bryant fell to 0-7.
 
The game was scoreless at the half thanks to a brilliant stop by both goalkeepers.  Fordham's Rashid Nuhu had his in the 30^th minute, as Jared Lee blasted a shot right into Nuhu's chest, which Nuhu was able to hold on to, while Bryant's Nick Stewart had his in the 38^th minute. 
 
Janos Loebe found Jannik Loebe running into the box behind the Bryant defense. 

Jannik cut across to the right side and tried to sneak the ball past Stewart, but Stewart was able to get a hand on the shot and deflected it away.
 
In the second half, Fordham had three premium chances in the early minutes, as Janos hit the crossbar in the 48^th minute, while in the 60^th minute, he had back-to-back shots in tight, which were both stopped by Stewart.
 
Janos though did not miss in the 71^st minute, netting the only goal of the game.  Ross Willox played a ball from the top of the box to Connor DeFilippis, heading toward the end line.  DeFilippis crossed the ball back to Janos right in the center of the box for a shot into the top right corner for his fifth goal of the season.
 
That goal held up, as the Rams recorded their sixth shutout of the season with Nuhu making two saves in the win.
 
The Fordham men's soccer team will now turn its attention to league action, as the Rams will open Atlantic 10 play on Saturday, September 30^th, at George Mason, beginning at 7:00 PM.
