No. 10 Quincy Wins 1-0 Grudge Match at Rockhurst

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The No. 10 Quincy University men's soccer team has remained undefeated this season by taking it one game at a time, but both QU and Rockhurst University had Friday, Oct. 3 circled on their calendar.  Rockhurst came into Quincy, Ill. twice last season and took two victories.  RU won 2-0 in a regular season National Soccer Coaches Association of America televised game.  Rockhurst also took a 2-1 win in the Great Lakes Valley Conference semifinals that decided which team would head to the NCAA Division II tournament.  Quincy returned the favor on Friday during a regular season tilt that was once again televised by the NSCAA for the second straight season.  QU was lifted to a 1-0 win by a goal from Jordan Roberts in the 54th minute.  

Quincy (10-0-0, 7-0-0 GLVC) started firing shots right away against Rockhurst (5-3-0, 5-2-0 GLVC).  QU sent four shots on goal in the first 20 minutes that were all stopped by Stefano Radio.

Senior keeper Drew Duncan (10-0-0) was tested in the 37th and 42nd minute, but made both saves to keep Rockhurst off the board in the first half.

Both teams had five shots in the first half.  Rockhurst put two on goal as QU had four stopped by the RU keeper.

Quincy had a chance in the 49th minute when Steve McAnany sent a corner kick into the box.  Chris Garavaglia put a head on it, but a Rockhurst defender cleared the ball off the line.

Steve McAnany stepped in front of a Rockhurst pass at midfield in the 54th minute.  He found Jordan Roberts in the middle of the field.  Roberts faced up the defender and pulled a step over move dragging the ball to the middle of the field with his right foot.  He released a shot back to the right post that touched the keeper's finger tips and found the back of the net.  It was Roberts' GLVC-leading 10th goal of the season.

Drew Duncan made diving stops in the 64th and 79th minute for his third and fourth saves of the night.  Duncan also made a diving stop on a cross that was headed for a Rockhurst attacker at the far post late in the game.  The senior keeper recorded his eighth clean sheet of the season.

Quincy buried the ball in the corners for the final few minutes of play to kill the clock and come away with the win.  

QU converted their 10th straight win remaining undefeated.  They sit atop the GLVC standings and are one of four teams left in NCAA Division II without a loss or tie.

Quincy will travel to Liberty, Mo. on Sunday (Oct. 5) to face William Jewell College at 2:30 p.m.
