MITCHELL SCORES TWICE TO LEAD HOFSTRA TO 2-0 WIN IN CAA OPENER

Demont Mitchell scored both goals in a 2-0 win over Georgia State, giving Hofstra its first conference-opening win since joining the CAA in 2002

Atlanta, GA (Sept. 26) - Junior forward Demont Mitchell (Delray Beach, FL) scored twice and sophomore goalkeeper Greg Cumpstone (Haddam, CT) had seven saves for the shutout as the Hofstra Men's Soccer team defeated Georgia State 2-0 on a rain-soaked Saturday afternoon in the Colonial Athletic Association opener for both teams.

With the win, the Pride improves to 3-4 overall and starts out league play at 1-0 for the first time since joining the CAA in 2002. Hofstra had been 0-4-3 in conference openers over the last seven years, despite going on to win three straight conference championships from 2004-06. Georgia State, meanwhile, falls to 2-2-1 overall and 0-1 in league play.

The start time was moved to 2 p.m. (from the original 7 p.m.) due to inclement weather, and featured two delays due to thunderstorms in the Atlanta area before the game was called after only 75 minutes.

Mitchell snapped a scoreless tie with 55 seconds left in the first half when he got to a loose ball in the box off a Pride free kick and beat Georgia State goalkeeper Vincent Foermer for his first goal of the season. He then put the Pride ahead 2-0 on a penalty kick at the 64:29 mark of the second half, marking his first career two-goal game. It was also the second two-goal game for a Pride player this season, as Johannes Grahn (Tibro, Sweden) scored two in a loss to Ohio State on Sept. 13.

Cumpstone was called on to make three saves in the first 24 minutes, before he momentum swung the Pride's way midway through the first half. Senior midfielder Rory McCrea (Sherburn-In-Elmet, England) had a shot saved in the 28th minute, and a flurry of three corner kicks in the 31st minute resulted in shots from senior defender Jamal Neptune (East Windsor, NJ) and sophomore forward Brett Carrington (St. George, Barbados). Cumpstone then made a pair of saves late in the half to keep the game scoreless, before Mitchell broke the tie in the final minute of the opening stanza.

Hofstra finished with a 7-5 advantage in corner kicks, while shots were even at 9-9. Cumpstone picked up his second shutout of the season, after also having seven saves in a season-opening 1-0 win over Stony Brook on Sept. 1. He also had a seven-save shutout last year against George Mason, and a career-high eight saves in a 2-1 win over James Madison.

Hofstra will next be in action when it plays its first home game of the 2009 season on Saturday against VCU (7 p.m.). The Pride played its first seven games of the year away from home (five road games, two neutral site games).

Senior Cameron Hepple exploded for a hat trick, but the Bowling Green State University men's soccer team fell just short in a 4-3 loss at the University of Dayton Friday night (Sept. 18). The non-conference match was held at Baujan Field.

Cameron Hepple had the first hat trick by a BG player in nearly five years

With the win, the Flyers -- the reigning Atlantic 10 Conference Tournament champions -- improve to 1-3-1 this season to date. The Falcons drop to 1-4-1.

Hepple's hat trick was the first by a BGSU player in nearly five years. But, the Flyers scored twice in each half to pick up the win.

The first two goals of the night came via penalty kicks, as Hepple got the Falcons on the board at the 15:19 mark, but UD's Peter Chilemena equalized in the game's 31st minute. Chilemena scored two goals for the hosts.

Alex Torda gave the Flyers the lead at the 35:18 mark, and UD took that 2-1 advantage into the halftime break. But, Hepple knotted the score with his second goal of the game, converting on a two-on-one breakaway just 3:07 into the second half. Redshirt sophomore Max Weston assisted on that goal.

The Flyers, however, responded less than four minutes later, as Chilemena headed home a cross for a 3-2 UD lead. Then, Jack Pearson scored what would prove to be the winning goal at 76:04, putting the Flyers ahead by two goals.

But, Hepple completed his hat trick with 9:37 left in the match, off an assist by senior Hunter Van Houten. The Falcons had three shot attempts in the final seven-plus minutes, but could not get another ball past UD goalkeeper Josh Lavallee.

The Flyers held a narrow 20-17 advantage in shot attempts, and put 12 shots on goal to the Falcons' seven. Lavallee, who entered the week ranked 27th in the nation in saves percentage, stopped four of those seven SOG faced.

For the Falcons, redshirt freshman Jeff Smoker made seven saves, the highest total of his young career, in a complete-game effort. BGSU also was credited with one 'team save' on the night.

BGSU will return to Northwest Ohio to prepare for Sunday's (Sept. 20) game vs. IPFW. That contest, BG's first home game in nearly three weeks, will begin at 2:00 p.m. at Cochrane Field.

FALCON NOTES
* For senior Cameron Hepple, Friday night's output represented the first multiple-goal game -- and, obviously, the first hat trick -- of his collegiate career.

* No player had recorded more than one goal in a game since last Nov. 4, when Chuko Evwaraye had a pair of goals at Detroit ... BG had three two-goal games in 2008, as Evwaraye scored twice vs. Centenary (Sept. 12, 2008) and Jacob Lawrence had a pair of goals at Central Arkansas the next day (Sept. 13, 2008).

* After just six games, Hepple now has five goals, the highest single-season total of his career ... he had four goals in the 2007 season.

* BGSU, as mentioned, hosts IPFW Sunday (Sept. 20) at 2:00 p.m. at Cochrane Field ... the game will be televised live in the Toledo area by BCSN.
