ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan men's soccer team rounded out a perfect opening weekend with a 1-0 victory over Hofstra Sunday (Sept. 2) on the U-M Soccer Field. The Wolverines improved to 2-0-0 on the season, and have yet to allow a goal during the 2007 campaign.
The Wolverines jumped out to a 1-0 lead at 15:26 in the first half on a goal from sophomore Peri Marosevic (Rockford, Ill./Edison). Sophomore Jake Stacy (Grand rapids, Mich./Forest Hills) intercepted a pass at midfield and then launched a counter attack with a quick pass to senior Michael Parke (Portage, Mich./Portage Central), who led Marosevic to slide the ball past the Hofstra goalkeeper's right side from 18 yards out. The goal was Marosevics second in as many contests.
Michigans defense was able to keep Hofstra at bay, limiting the visiting teams chances on goal. Junior/sophomore goalkeeper Patrick Sperry (Hinsdale, Ill./Hinsdale Central) was a force in the net, making three saves for his second straight shutout. In 180 minutes in goal this season, Sperry is yet to allow a tally.
The Wolverines begin a western road trip next weekend with a Friday night (Sept. 7) match at Cal State Northridge in Fullerton, Calif. The game is slated for a 5:00 PDT start.
