The University of Rochester men's soccer team used two late goals to break open a tight 1-0 game to earn a 3-0 victory over Kean University on Saturday night at Fauver Stadium.
 
The Yellowjackets move to 11-2-1 on the year while the Cougars drop to 9-9-1.
 
The home Yellowjackets were able to strike first in the 23rd minute when junior Keith Grafmeyer headed in a corner kick from teammate Jeff Fafinski.  The goal wasn't signaled right away by the linesman and was headed off the line by Cougar Steve Osores, but then it was ruled a goal after conformation that the ball had indeed crossed the line.  The score was Grafmeyer's fourth of the seaon.
 
The teams went to the break with a 1-0 score.  UR held a 9-2 edge in shots and 5-1 lead in corners during the first 45 minutes.  Three of UR's chances were on net while neither of the two early shots by Kean tested goalie Mike Moranz.
 
After a near miss on an offside early in the second half, both teams settled in and managed their opposition well, limited good scoring chances.
 
UR tried to add to its lead with opportunities from Alex Swanger and Andrew Greenway with under 20 to play, but Kean goalie Tyler Callahan stood tall, making some tough saves.
 
The Yellowjackets were then able to get a big insurance goal in the 84th minute when senior Max Fan scored on a chipped header that just cleared the outstretched hands of Callahan.  The goal was set up on a long through ball from the left wing by Sean Daly.
 
UR then was able to strike again three minutes later, scoring on a strong counter attack.  Greenway rushed up the left sideline and swung a nice cross right to the foot of Swanger for his team high eighth of the season.
 
For the game, Rochester outshot the Cougars 17-4 and earned eight corners to Kean's two.  In goal, Moranz made one save while Callahan made five stops.
 
The 'Jackets next game will be next Friday when they continue the UAA conference season against Emory at home before hosting Carnegie Mellon in the home season finale on Sunday.
