MEN'S SOCCER CHAMPIONSHIP
ERIE, Pa.
- The Erie, Pa., connection accounted for three-fourths of the Gannon goals
and assists as the Golden Knights captured the inaugural Great Lakes Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference (GLIAC) Men’s Soccer Championship Saturday night with
a 2-0 victory over Northwood before 855 fans at Gannon University Field.
Afrim Latifi (Erie, Pa./Cathedral Prep) scored the first goal off
a header in the 38th minute, sending the Golden Knights to halftime with the
momentum and a 1-0 lead. Bruce Stephen (Durban, South Africa/Westville
Boys) recorded his first career assist on the play.
Dan Howell (Erie, Pa./Iroquois) iced the match with his 11th goal
of the season with 5:04 remaining, finishing a pass from Andrew Lorei (Erie,
Pa./Cathedral Prep).
Saturday’s championship match was played on even terms as Gannon held a
slight 17-15 edge in shots and a 7-6 advantage in corner kicks. Steven
Boehmer (Dayton, Ohio/Carroll) recorded seven saves in the victory. Kenny
Huber turned away four shots for the Timberwolves.
Gannon improved to 16-2-1 while Northwood dropped to 9-7-2. The Golden Knights
