Hawks Win GLVC Quarter-Final: Four Named ALL-Conference

11/1/10

On Sunday 10/31 the Soccer Hawks defeated Drury University 3-2 with Ryan Seifert's tally in the 108 minute in a very well played, very intense GLVC Tournament quarter-final match. Seifert (Fr. from St. Dominic HS) was assisted by Co-Captain Jack Wedemeier (Sr. from Cape Notre Dame)just 2:30 before the end of the second OT period.

After a first half mainly contested between the two 18 yard lines the game exploded with four goals coming between the 60th and 68th minute marks. Drury jumped on top off a head ball goal in the 60th minute. In the 61st minute Grant Ellison (Jr. from St. Dominic HS) slipped one under the Drury goal keeper from close range after receiving a nice assit pass from Wedemeier. Six minutes later Ellison scored again with assists credited to Jake Pittroff (Sr. from Oakville HS) and Jeff Vaninger (So. from CBC HS). And then, less than a minute later Drury scored again to draw level once more. At this point an exciting, intense match drew even moreso over another 40minutes of action as both teams battled to get the winning goal up until Seifert's shot won the day for the Hawks. QU will now will travel to the campus of Northern Kentucky University to play the University of Indianapolis this Friday at 2:30 PM EDT. If you are in the vacinity come on out and cheer on your HAWKS as they strive to reach the GLVC Championship match scheduled for Sunday at 2:30 PM on the NKU campus.

Over the wekend it was also announced that four Hawks were named to the GLVC All Conference Team.
