Shutout streak continues
as Clayton State men blank Brevard 2-0
Petersen ties predecessor
Rootes for most victories as Laker head coach
  BREVARD,
N.C. – October 13, 2009 – The shutout streak continued for
the Clayton State Laker men’s soccer team, and head coach Pete
Petersen reached a milestone in the process.
With first-half goals and total control of the game, the visiting
Lakers blanked Brevard 2-0 in non-conference on Tuesday. The shutout
was the fifth straight for Clayton State (8-4-1) – the first time
ever in program history. In addition, Petersen tied predecessor John
Rootes for the most victories by men’s soccer head coach at Clayton
State.
Now in his sixth season, Petersen now stands 66-30-15 at the Laker
helm.
The Lakers scored both goals in less than two minutes in the first
half. Sophomore Leighton Fredericks gave Clayton State a 1-0 lead in
the 12th
minute on a penalty kick for his eighth goal of the season. Two
minutes later, Matthias Faublas fed Ryan Pugh with a pass on the
left side of the penalty box, and Pugh hammered home a 15-yard
strike for his second goal of the season.
Clayton State dominated the game offensively, out-shooting Brevard
(1-13) 28-7. Senior goalkeeper David Cristofoli recorded his Peach
Belt Conference-leading eighth shutout with two saves.
Clayton State returns to Peach Belt Conference action on Saturday
with a 3:30 p.m. showdown at USC Aiken. |
