PITTSBURGH, Pa - J.J. Dennstedt poached a goal in the opening minute of play and Scott Cady continued his knack for scoring key goals as the men's soccer team defeated Carnegie Mellon, 2-0, in a match of nationally-ranked teams.

The Yellowjackets entered the match ranked 18th nationally and Carnegie Mellon was 11th. With the victory, Rochester improved to 3-0 in the UAA, 9-1-2 overall. Carnegie Mellon is 10-2-1 overall, 1-2 in the UAA.

In the opening minute, CMU goalkeeper Matt Bazin tried to pass the ball out of his penalty area. Dennstedt got to it and deflected it into the net with the match just 46 seconds old.

Cady scored his second goal in as many games when he headed home a free kick from Jimmy Parrinello at 66:10. Cady missed six weeks with an injury suffered on opening night. His first goal this year came a week ago - in a 1-0 victory at NYU. Last season, he scored a goal in each of Rochester's first two wins in the NCAA Division III playoffs - against Keuka and against Hobart.

Michael Peacock made four saves to earn the shutout. Bazin finished with four saves for the Tartans.

Carnegie outshot Rochester, 10-7. The Yellowjackets had eight corner kicks and CMU had two.
