Double OT Goal By Asante Leads Post Over Bentley 1-0

Ted Haley Wins 100th-Career Game

Box Score NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. – Graduate student Anthony Asante (Bronx, N.Y.) booted home the game-winner in the 103rd minute as the Post University men's soccer team defeated Bentley 1-0 in double-overtime on Friday afternoon at the Merrimack Kickoff Classic in North Andover, Mass. The victory is the 100th in Eagles' head coach Ted Haley's career.
 
 "We didn't play well in the first half but were able to create some chances as the game went on," said Haley. "It took a while for us them down, but I'm proud that the guys were able to regroup and get the job done."
 
Early in the second overtime period, senior Francisco Sastre (Sao Paolo, Brazil) passed ahead to classmate Jacob Butler-Bowdon (Adelaide, Australia) who was up on attack from the back line. Butler-Bowdon whipped a cross into Asante who headed home the winner in his Eagles' debut.
 
Post put pressure on the Falcons early in the game with two shots on goal in the first two minutes, but only managed one more shot the remainder of the half. Bentley recorded eight shots in the first with one on goal.
 
The Eagles got on track in the second half, outshooting Bentley 4-1, but neither team could break through. Sophomore Vinicius Lelis (Belo Horizonte, Brazil) had a chance late in regulation but his shot was saved by Falcons' keeper Jack Blatchford.
 
The lone shot on goal for either team in the first overtime was saved by Eagles' junior keeper Serigne Baba Gaye (Dakar, Senegal). He finished with two saves on the day to earn the shutout victory.
 
Post was outshot 11-9 on the day, but held a 4-2 advantage on net. Senior Tiago Martins (Lamas de Olo, Portugal) and sophomore Armando Filho (Cataguases, Brazil) each had two shots.
 
Haley, in his 11th year at Post, improves his career record to 100-71-24 and has been the head coach for all but four of the Eagles' wins as an NCAA institution. He is the third active coach in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) with to hit the century mark.
 
"Reaching the milestone is great, but there's no time to celebrate. We have a tough match ahead of us against a very-good Merrimack team," added Haley.
 
The Eagles return to action on Sunday against #15 Merrimack at 3 p.m.
