HACKETTSTOWN, N.J. - The Neumann University men's soccer team advanced to the Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) semifinals with a 2-1 win at Centenary College in first round action on Tuesday afternoon.

The Knights capitalized on two own goals early in the game. Neumann came out quick, scoring in the 10^th and 11^th minute of the game. For the first goal, Andrew Kelly had the throw in, which got to Abu Donzo before bouncing around and finding the back of the net. Joe Martinho was able to get the ball towards the net before the Knights scored their second own goal.

Shane Smith made the big saves needed to keep Neumann in the lead, finishing the game with eight. Liam Hill and Kelly played well in front of Smith to keep the ball towards the Cyclones end of the field. Christian Cortese, Jake McDevitt and Evan Fahey were strong in the middle and up front as they created multiple chances for the Knights.

"I couldn't be more proud of this team after this win. After losing 5-1 at Centenary during the regular season we relished the opportunity to come back and redeem ourselves," says Coach Hollenback. "The team showed a lot of character getting the job done today. We will enjoy the win tonight and get back to work tomorrow. We still have two more big steps to go to get to where we want to be."

Neumann (6-9-2) will travel to Marywood on Thursday for a semifinal matchup. Keystone defeated Immaculata in the other first round game and will head to Cabrini for CSAC semifinal action. The winners will meet on Saturday for the CSAC Championship.
