BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (Sept. 12, 2015) - The 15th-ranked LIU Post men's soccer team held Assumption College to just two shots in 90 minutes Saturday, as the Pioneers turned aside the Greyhounds, 2-1, at the Purple Knight Classic at Knights' Field.

LIU Post (2-1-1) bounced back from a 2-1 loss to Merrimack College on Thursday by keeping the Assumption (0-4) offense at bay after allowing an early goal.

In the 20th minute, Assumption's Zack Scafati (Franklin, Mass.) put a shot just inside the far post off a corner kick, giving the Greyhounds a 1-0 lead.

Then, in the 35th minute, senior midfielder Matias Ruiz (Southampton, N.Y.) received a cross at the top of the box from fellow senior midfielder Per Forgaard (Stavanger, Norway). Ruiz then found the top-left corner of the mesh to tie the contest at 1-1.

In the second half, freshman midfielder Charlie Ledula (London, England) got a pass from junior forward Johann Kristjansson (Reykjavic, Iceland) and sent a volley into the back of the net for the eventual game-winning tally.

The Pioneers dominated on the offensive end, outshooting the Greyhounds, 23-2. They also earned nine corner kicks to Assumption's two.

Head Coach Andreas Lindberg and his LIU Post squad are back in action on Wednesday (Sept. 16), when they host Wilmington University at Pioneer Soccer Park in their 2015 home opener. The opening kick is set for 3 p.m.
