Red Foxes Clip Golden Griffs

Detelj scores in 1-0 win

(Poughkeepsie) - The Marist Men's Soccer team earned a hard fought 1-0 win over Canisius on Sunday afternoon. Senior captain Keith Detelj (Sayville, N.Y.) scored the only goal of the game and sophomore goalkeeper Marcelo del Rio (Glendale, N.Y.) earned his first career shutout.

Detelj would score the game winner at 22:39 when he deflected a pass from Kevin Brown (Rochester, N.Y.) to beat Canisius keeper Matt Houghton. Detelj directed the pass off the left goal post and in for his fifth goal of the season. The assist was Brownâ ™s first career point at Marist.

Del Rio was solid in net, as he made eight saves for Marist in the match. His final stop was the biggest as Canisius sent everyone to the box on a corner kick with 10 seconds remaining. After a flurry in front of the net he was able to fight off one last effort by the Griffs to secure the win.

Houghton was also strong in net, as he finished the game with nine stops. Marist had several chances in the box; however it was not able to get more then the one ball past the Golden Griffs' net minder.
