2005 Season Re-Cap
The 2005 Purchase Men’s Soccer campaign will go down as a transitional year for the program. With a first year head coach and entrance into the new North Eastern Athletic Conference, the future is bright for the Panthers.
The 2005 season got off to an exciting start with a 1-0 win in the first week over Brooklyn College. The Panthers followed up that victory with their first ever NEAC win in a 5-2 decision against rival Bard College. In that game, the Panthers came back from an early 2-0 hole to score five unanswered goals highlighted by sophomore forward Matt Irish-Jones (Clarence, NY) who netted four.
Conference play continued with some hard luck losses including an overtime defeat to conference semi-final bound Penn State Berks 2-1. The Panthers battled all throughout the season and got a much needed 3-0 win over NEAC foe D’Youville College on Parent’s Weekend. Although, the Panthers fell a game short in their bid for the playoffs, they finished their season with a 5-2 at Webb Institute to cap the campaign.
Overall the Panthers had a successful year in their re-entrance to NCAA Division III athletics. With a strong nucleus returning and recruiting going well, the coaching staff is excited about the future.
