PITTSBURGH, Pa. -- Junior netminder Matt Lynch
(Weymouth, Mass./Weymouth) tied a career-high with eight saves and
the Brandeis defense kept the University Athletic Association's
leading scorer Ricky Griffin off the board, but host Carnegie
Mellon made a ninth-minute goal stand up as the No. 9 Tartans
blanked the Judges, 1-0. With the loss, Brandeis falls to 4-7-1
(1-2-0 UAA), while CMU improves to 12-1 (3-0 UAA).
Brandeis, which suffered a one-goal loss for the fifth time this
season, including a 2-1 decision to No. 6 Rochester last weekend,
gave up the game's only goal early in the contest. Carnegie Mellon
senior midfielder Ryan Browne (Pittsburgh, Pa.) threaded a ball to
classmate Pat Lutz (Lebanon, Pa.). Lutz dribbled past a defender
and fired a shot high inside the near post for his seventh goal of
the season.
That was all the Tartan defense needed, as the hosts outshot
Brandeis, 17-6, including 9-1 in shots on goal. Sophomore
Luke Teece (Tucson, Ariz./University) notched the
only shot on goal in the 38th minute. CMU senior Maks Gurghin
(Cupertino, Calif.) made one save for the shutout.
Brandeis heads to Atlanta to take on Emory University on Sunday
morning at 11 a.m., while Carnegie Mellon will play host to NYU at
the same time.
