Gators Fall In Allegheny Classic Sep 8, 2007
R.I.T grabbed the lead in the first half when Jake Yates scored off of a Casey Rathbone assist in the game’s 17th minute, and from there it was a defensive battle, with neither team finding the back of the net despite five shots on goal for the Gators and one for the Tigers.
Allegheny rallied with less than three minutes left to play when sophomore defender Phil Burdette (Pittsburgh, Pa./Upper St. Clair) scored the first goal of his career when he knocked in a header off of a corner kick from senior midfielder Andrew Stutzman (Pittsburgh, Pa./Upper St. Clair). The Gators had one more try at a corner kick with nearly 30 seconds left to play, but could not convert as R.I.T held on for a 2-1 victory. Ryan Larkin (Pittsburgh, Pa./Baldwin) picked up the loss in goal for Allegheny, stopping a pair of shots, while his counterpart, Alan Smith, stopped five shots in helping R.I.T. to the victory.
Day two of the tournament begins with a 12:30 p.m. contest between Oberlin and R.I.T on Sunday, followed by the Gators battling W&J at 3 p.m.
