2007 Season in Review
Short-handed Panthers Fall In Quarters
Purchase, NY – The Purchase College men’s soccer team punched their ticket to the playoffs this past season.
The Panthers clinched a playoff berth following an impressive 3-2 victory over rival Mount Saint Vincent in the last regular season game of the year. Purchase was pitted against Farmingdale State in the first round of the Skyline Conference Tournament, but without captain Matt Irish-Jones (SR, Clarence, NY), who was lost to injury in that final game, Purchase fell 6-0 to the Rams.
Irish-Jones had a solid season, finishing with 15 points on seven goals and one assist. He was thusly named to the All-Skyline Second Team. Irish-Jones was not the only Panther to be recognized this fall, as Geoffrey Robbins (JR/Glen Ridge, NY) was named Skyline Conference Player of the Week for his play in the final week of the regular season.
Teammate Daniel Grabowski-Clark (SO/
Goalie Noah Colantuono (SR/Pawling, NY) had a successful season as well for the Panthers, leading the Skyline Conference in saves with 116. The Panthers were lead in assists this season by Sebastian Ribeiro (SO/Brooklyn, NY), who finished with seven.
The Panthers finished 6-11-1 this season, including a 4-4-1 conference showing under coach Paul Brooks. Purchase returns a strong core for 2008, including Robbins and Grabowski-Clark and Ribeiro.
