Stonestreet nets game-winner for men’s soccer.
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (Oct. 3, 1999) — The University ofKentucky men’s soccer team won its secondMid-American Conference match of the weekend onSunday, edging Bowling Green 1-0.
UK defender Todd Stonestreet chipped a 30-yard shot over the BG keeperin the 66th minute for the game’s lone goal as UK upped its MAC record to2-0 on the year.
Kentucky keeper Brian O’Leary needed only one save to post the shutout,his second of the weekend and fourth of the season.
The win was especially sweet for the Cats, who have been eliminated frompost-season play by the Falcons four consecutive seasons.
“Our guys really wanted this win,” UK Coach Ian Collins said. “BowlingGreen has knocked us out of the tournament four years in a row, and ourguys felt like we owed them one.”
With the win, UK improves to 6-3, while BG falls to 3-7, 0-1 in the MAC.
