WALTHAM, Mass. – Senior forward Nate Micklos (Palantine,
Ill.) scored two goals and registered two assists today as the
visiting University of Rochester Yellowjacket men's soccer team
defeated Brandeis University, 7-1, in a University Athletic
Association (UAA) show-down. With his two goals and six points,
Micklos tied the UAA records for career goals with 20 and career
points with 47.
Rochester (9-0, 2-0 UAA) opened the scoring early on a nice display
of passing as senior Jeremy Goico (West Hartford, Conn.) served the
ball to Micklos, who headed it to senior forward Colin Fernie
(Worthington, Ohio), who headed it home at the 4:00 mark. Micklos
then tallied the game-winner at 22:03 on a free kick that bent
around the wall and past Brandeis senior goalkeeper Matt Kaplan
(Melville, N.Y.). UR scored on another direct kick just over 10
minutes later, with sophomore back Nick Mikolenko (Fairport, N.Y.)
bending it home with his left foot. Sophomore reserve Jeremy Mann
(Port Jefferson, N.Y.) closed out the half with a goal in the 41st
minute.
Micklos tied the UAA goal record on a penalty kick in the second
half at 54:03 and matched the points record just 89 seconds later
when he assisted junior forward Gary Stom (Greensburg, Pa.) on a
give-and-go. The Yellowjackets tacked on another goal in the 66th
minute.
Brandeis (6-4-1, 0-1-1 UAA) spoiled the visitor's shutout bid in
the 71st minute when junior Jason Ring (Stoneham, Mass.) blasted
his first career goal from just outside the box.
