BOXSCORE

KUTZTOWN, Pa. — Greg Parker (fr. West Grove/Avon Grove) scored two goals for the Kutztown University men’s soccer team, but Bloomsburg University rallied to tie and win 3-2 in overtime Saturday at Keystone Field.

The Golden Bears (1-5-0, 1-3-0 PSAC East) scored in the second minute of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference East game, and made it 2-1 at the 54:08 mark; however Bloomsburg’s Mike Jones tied the game at 2-2 with less than seven minutes left in regulation to force overtime.

In the extra frame, Kevin Mealy headed a cross from Tim Pfender in the 97th minute for the Bloomsburg (3-0-3, 1-0-1 PSAC East) win.

Parker’s first goal came on a breakaway where he beat the keeper to the ball and chipped it over his head and into the goal. His second tally was on a nicely set up play, as Rusty Chapel (jr. Topton/Brandywine) battled his way down the right sideline, sent a cross into the box and Parker redirected it with his head.

Christian Rota had the other goal for Bloomsburg, scoring in the 27th minute to knot the game at 1.

KU was outshot 21-11 and Shawn Knash (so. Honesdale/Honesdale) made eight saves for the Golden Bears.
