GUILFORD DROPS COUGARS IN OT
DANVILLE, VA (10/15/03) -
Guilford's Ampofo Darko scored on a Steffen Schollaert assist in
the match's 97th minute to give the Quakers a 2-1 overtime victory
over Averett University Wednesday at the Cougar Den.
A Guilford (7-5) crossing kick found
Schollaert in front of the net occupied by Averett (1-10-1) keeper Jimmy
Kalmoutis. Schollaert made
a pass to the left side of the box to Darko, who one-timed the shot past Kalmoutis
for the winning goal.
Jason Harmon put the Cougars
on the board first in the game's 37th minute. From midfield, Sam Macri booted a pass into the
penalty area to Rocky Cutright. Cutright
touched the ball to Harmon, who found the net for his first goal of the
season. Macri and Cutright
were both credited with assists on the play.
The Averett advantage remained 1-0
until Schollaert scored an assisted goal with just 12:05 remaining in the
match to knot the game at 1-1. Darriel
Cannon and Steve Chaconas assisted Schollaert on the score. Guilford appeared to have netted the game-winner with only 40
seconds showing on the game clock, but an offsides call erased the score and
forced extra time.
Kalmoutis had eight saves in
the match for Averett, while facing 26 Quaker shots. His counterpart, Matt McCall, was credited with only
three saves in eight shots faced.
The Cougars return to action on
Tuesday when they host Ferrum College at 4 p.m. for their final home match of
the season. Guilford travels to
Randolph-Macon Saturday for a 3 p.m. tilt with the Yellow Jackets.
