Missy Matusewicz '01, who holds Union's scoring records for goals and points in a
season and in a career, dribbles the ball in a recent game. Matusewicz tallied
69 goals and 23 assists over 72 games in her Union career. Women's soccer lost
1-0 Wednesday to Western Connecticut State University in the first round of the
NCAA Division III tournament at Garis Field. WCSU converted their only shot on
goal at 9:48 of the third overtime. Union finishes the season at 15-2-2/6-1 in
the UCAA and an automatic NCAA berth. The season record was the second best in
Union's 21-year history.

The men's soccer team played the alumni in the annual showdown with 15 former Union returning to campus. Those alumni who participated in the contest were: Jim Monks ('87), Steve Hartman ('88), Dick Steinbrenner ('58), John Denio ('76), Bob Crandell ('87),

Sophomore tailback George Beebe (Salem, NY/Salem) captured his third Upstate Collegiate Athletic Association “Offensive Player of the Week” honors this season as he led the Dutchmen to a 37-15 victory over the University of Rochester last week. Beebe rushed for a Union-record 272 yards (on just 22 carries), breaking the old standards of 263 set by Shuron Morton against Hobart in 1996.

Beebe, who now has 1,067 yards for the season, had touchdown runs of 46, 96 and 14 yards against a Yellowjacket defense that came into the game allowing just 96 yards a game against the run and 221 overall yards. Beebe's three rushing touchdowns against Rochester gives him nine for the year, one short of the single-season record of 10.

Beebe's first rush of the game resulted in a 46-yard scoring scamper around left end with his fourth attempt resulting in a 96-yard bolt up the middle, which gave the Dutchmen a 14-0 advantage. The talented junior finished the first half with 172 yards on just seven carries (a per carry average of 24.6). Beebe later scored on a 14-yard run and broke Morton's record two minutes into the fourth quarter with a 28-yard rush.

The 8-1 Dutchmen, who have won six in a row, conclude their regular season this Saturday at undefeated Springfield. If Union's wins, the Dutchmen will be in line for one of the eight remaining NCAA berths. If they don't come away with a victory, they should still earn a spot in the ECAC event. Both tournaments start on November 18.

Junior forward Jeff Wilson (London,Ont./A.B. Lucas School) was named the CCM/ECAC “Player of the Week” after scoring two goals in Union's 4-2 victory over Rensselaer last Saturday. Wilson becomes the third Skating Dutchman to be recognized by the league.

The victory was the third in four overall games for the Dutchmen, who are celebrating their 10th season as a Division I team. The game was the ECAC league opener for both Union and Rensselaer.

Wilson, who came into the campaign with 16 goals in 59 career games, gave Union a 1-0 lead at 13:29 of the first period before scoring what proved to be the game-winner at 4:24 of the third. Both goals came while the Dutchmen were on the powerplay (the Garnet converted four of eight powerplay opportunities while holding the Engineers to a one-for-nine in extra man advantages…including 0–for-three while RPI was skating with a two-man advantage.

Junior goaltender Brandon Snee (Philadelphia, PA/Hill School), who was named to the ECAC honor roll for his 35-save performance against RPI, was the CCM/ECAC “Goaltender of the Week” as he sparked a 4-1 win over Army in Week ! and junior defenseman Charles Simard (Aylmer, Quebec/Kindersley Composite) was the CCM/ECAC “Player of the Week” after leading the Dutchmen to a 4-2 victory over Merrimack in Week 2.
