Bezecourt helps St. Francis soccer edge Lafayette
Senior’s Overtime Goal Boosts Two-Time NEC Champs
The St. Francis Terriers, two-time defending champions of the Northeast Conference, remained unbeaten in their quest for a third consecutive crown Wednesday evening, topping visiting Lafayette, 1-0, on Vincent Bezecourt’s clutch goal early in the second overtime at Brooklyn Bridge Park.
Bezecourt accepted a pass from fellow senior John Makaya from about 20 yards out, and lofted a perfect shot over Leopards netminder Bard Seeber just 59 seconds into the second OT stanza.
The game-winning goal helped the Terriers improve to 3-0-1 on the season as senior goalkeeper Jack Binks recorded his third shutout of the year with three saves.
