Maroons Drop UAA Opener at #10 Carnegie Mellon

PITTSBURGH -- Carnegie Mellon University scored three times in the game's first 11 minutes as the 10th-ranked Tartans defeated the University of Chicago 3-0 in University Athletic Association men's soccer action Saturday at Gesling Stadium.

The loss ended Chicago's seven-game unbeaten streak and dropped the Maroons' record to 6-2-2 overall, 0-1 in UAA play.

Carnegie Mellon opened the scoring when Keith Haselhoff intercepted a Chicago pass near midfield then fed teammate Jon Simon, who one-touched the ball into the back of the Maroons' net 2:33 into the contest. Carnegie Mellon (10-1, 1-0) went up 2-0 as the result of an own goal at the 5:13 mark.

In the 11th minute, Ricky Griffin stole the ball along the right sideline and slipped a pass to Pat Lutz, who tallied what proved to be the final goal of the contest.

Carnegie Mellon goalkeeper Maks Khurgin stopped five saves en route to the shutout. Sophomore netminder Chris Giusto (Davie, Fla./ Heritage) collected five saves for the Maroons.

Chicago returns to action next Saturday, Oct. 10, when it hosts UAA rival Emory University at 11 a.m.
