By Mike Anderson, NKU Sports Information FINDLAY, Ohio – The members of the Northern Kentucky University men’s soccer team used their heads during a 4-1 victory over Findlay in non-conference action Friday afternoon. Junior Tony Ray began the scoring in the 14th minute for the Norse (3-0). Tony Capurro sent a pass into the 18-yard box, where Ray sent a header shot into the back of the net for his first goal of the season. Sophomore Braden Bishop extended his goal-scoring streak to six games over two seasons at the 30-minute mark by taking a Steven Beattie pass off the head and into the twine. Bishop struck again in the 51st, picking up an errant pass from the Findlay defense and depositing it into the goal for his fifth goal of the season. Ray had an instant replay of his earlier goal in the 56th minute, scoring off another Capurro assist to give the Norse a four-goal lead. Findlay’s Brennan Williams spoiled Andy Ortman’s shutout bid in the 83rd minute, scoring an unassisted tally to make the 4-1 final. Ortman got the win, making three saves along the way. NKU, ranked No. 5 nationally in Division II, travels to face Tiffin on Sunday. |
