Men's Soccer Overpowers St. John Fisher 5-0

Senior Brian Bartichek leads attack with pair of goals

The No. 3 SUNY Oneonta men's soccer team scored in the third minute and never looked back, as they overpowered St. John Fisher 5-0 in its opening game of the 2015 Oneonta Mayor's Cup tournament.  The Red Dragons outshot the Cardinals, 22-3, enroute to the lopsided victory that gives them a 2-0 start to the season.  The win for Oneonta was also the second consecutive via a shutout.
 
Senior Sean Vinberg (Massapequa Park/Massapequa) got the Red Dragons rolling with his first goal of the season.  He took a drop pass at the top of the box from classmate Jake Sutherland (Syracuse/West Genesee) before rifling a shot into the lower right corner of the goal.
 
Less than two minutes later, senior Brian Bartichek (Massapequa Park/Massapequa) put Oneonta up 2-0 with his first of a pair of tallies on the day.  Junior Hans Purtell (Johnson City/Johnson City) created the opportunity when he charged a ball that he was able to chest forward to Bartichek.  Bartichek then sent a low shot into the left corner of the goal.
 
In the 12th minute it was Purtell that would give the Red Dragons a commanding 3-0 lead.  Purtell was the beneficiary of a crossing pass from the right flank by sophomore Cory Santangelo (Sayville/Sayville) that went across the box untouched.  Purtell collected the pass and put a shot on frame that found the open goal.
 
Bartichek would add his second goal in the 34th minute when he dribbled by a couple of defenders before getting a shot by the Cardinals' keeper.
 
Oneonta went into halftime with a 4-0 lead, which included a 10-1 shot advantage.
 
Coach Iain Byrne changed his lineup in the second half and the Red Dragons continued its attack.  Junior Dillon Johnson (Northport/Northport) scored his first goal in an Oneonta uniform as he was in the right place at the right time on a crossing pass into the box by freshman Ian Cepiel (Stillwater/Stillwater Central).  Johnson deposited the ball into a wide open goal, as the keeper was out of position.
 
The Red Dragons will face Ithaca College tomorrow at 4pm down at Wright National Soccer Campus, as the tournament concludes.  Ithaca lost its match today, 4-1 to Medaille.  Medaille will take on St. John Fisher at 1pm tomorrow.
