Selinsgrove, Pa. (Oct. 11, 2014) - Senior Shawn Laskey scored the second goal of his career and Alvernia University defeated Susquehanna University, 2-1, Saturday afternoon in non-conference men's soccer action at Susquehanna.

Laskey lined up a rip from outside the box that beat the Susquehanna keeper to give the visiting Crusaders a 1-0 lead in the 19th minute.  The score remained that way well into the second half until Josh Wollaston redirected a header on a pass from Zach Wilson to put Alvernia up 2-0 in the 74th minute.

Susquehanna responded immediately cutting the deficit in half less than 60 seconds later when Nick Fecci scored his first goal of the season.  The host Crusaders had two more shots the rest of the way, the first was wide and the second was blocked by the Alvernia defense.

Zach Rider made six saves to earn the win.

Alvernia is back to the Commonwealth schedule with an important game at crosstown rival Albright on Tuesday.
