Coach Andy Byrne Records 300th Win At Ithaca

Box Score ITHACA, N.Y. –The Ithaca College men's soccer team defeated Nazareth Saturday afternoon, dropping the Golden Flyers by a score of 1-0 in overtime at Carp Wood Field. The win marked the 300th victory for Andy Byrne as head coach of the Bombers, giving him a record of 300-173-58 over 31 seasons on South Hill. Ithaca is now 5-7-3 overall in 2014, with a record of 5-1-1 in the conference.
 
Sophomore Andrew Coburn scored the game-winning goal for the Bombers, while senior goalkeeper Jordan Gentile stopped both shots he faced for his third shutout of the season. The Bombers generated 12 shots to Nazareth's seven, and both teams earned six corner kicks.
 
Tight defensive play marked the contest from the start, as neither team was able to score in the opening half of play. Both goalkeepers stood strong in the second half, once again keeping both teams off the board and sending the game to overtime at a scoreless draw.
 
Ithaca generated the only three shots in the bonus frame, eventually breaking through the Golden Flyer defense in the 98th minute of play. The Bombers were awarded a corner kick, sending junior Joseph Dobbins in for the service. Dobbins placed a perfect cross in front, finding Coburn for the game-winning header. Coburn's goal marked the first of his career, and gave Ithaca the Empire 8 victory.
 
The Bombers paid tribute to their senior class before the contest, honoring Max Bjork, Brandon Glass, Casey Williamson, A.J. Wolfanger, Liam Joy and Gentile in their final home game of the season.
 
The Bombers have already locked up the second seed in the Empire 8 playoffs, which starts the weekend of Nov. 7 at Stevens. Friday's game is scheduled for a 1 p.m. start.
