Alex Smith at Concord. Senior forward
Fabian Amhof assisted on the third and final goal. The Hitzkrirch, Switzerland native added two more assists at Salem as he helped out on the game-winning goal in the 75
th minute. In the 2-1 win, Concord was outshot by the Tigers, 17-11.
CHANCE FOR HISTORY
The Mountain Lions have won the last two games versus Wheeling and have picked up at least a point in the last four contests against the Cardinals. On September 22, CU scored the final two goals in a 3-1 win. Junior defender
Ted Roberts had the game-winning goal in the 37
th minute while junior midfielder
Darian Bradshaw tacked on an insurance goal in the 78
th minute. Conolly also scored one of his four goals this fall in the eighth minute. Amhof has scored in two of his three career games against the Cardinals, including the game winner in a 3-2 win last year. While the Mountain Lions have gone 3-0-1 versus Wheeling in the last four meetings, Concord will have a chance to defeat WU three straight times for the first time in program history Wednesday.
