Atia becomes program’s all-time leader in saves
St. Cloud, Minn. – St. Cloud State Men's Soccer (4-8-1, 2-6-0 GLIAC) got back in the win column Sunday afternoon as they picked up a crucial 1-0 shutout victory against Purdue Northwest. Owen Worsdell scored the lone goal in the 13th minute to prop the Huskies in scoring while Ramy Atia tallied five saves in a shutout victory.
Prior to the game, the Huskies honored their 11 graduating seniors for Senior Day. The group has been a staple of the program the past few seasons and they received their deserved recognition. As the game kicked off, the Huskies got the party started early for the second straight game and once again it was Owen Worsdell that opened up the scoring. After flipping the field on the offensive end in the 13th minute, Finn Mankowski worked his way into the Huskies attacking zone. Dribbling close to 20 yards, Mankowski slipped a beautiful pass to Worsdell who snuck in-line with the last Pride defender. Worsdell took the ball and put the PNW keeper on skates as he fired a shot into the back of the net to give SCSU the early 1-0 lead. The Huskies maintained that lead throughout the first half despite the Pride firing 11 total shots, but only one landed on goal.
Coming off of the halftime break, the Pride continued to create shots as they recorded three shots on goal in the first 20 minutes of the half, but all would be saved by Ramy Atia. The Huskies offense were able to generate multiple breakaway scoring chances that could have led to a 2-0 lead, but they were unable to capitalize on those chances. The defense of St. Cloud State stood tall the final 12 minutes of the game as they allowed only two shots. The Huskies would come away with a crucial 1-0 shutout victory on Senior Day as well as their regular season home finale.
