It was a great senior day sendoff in the final regular season game with two seniors scoring the goals in the University of Rochester men's soccer teams 2-0 victory over Case Western Reserve on Saturday evening at Fauver Stadium.
 
Rochester closes out the regular season with a 9-5-3 record, including a 3-3-1 UAA, tying for third in the conference standings with 10 points.  Case ends the season on a sour note, ending with an 8-6-4 record, 2-3-2 in the UAA.
 
 

UR senior Ben Keeton opened the scoring at 11:14 on a great individual play.  He gained possession of the ball and sprinted to the edge of the box from the right sideline, and unleashed a hard left footed shot perfectly into the top right corner of the net.
 
In the 30th minute, it was fellow senior Alex Swanger netting his second score of the season off a long cross from teammate Jeffrey Fafinski.  Fafinski's pass from along the end line was originally intended for Jeff Greblick who ended up overrunning the ball, only to find Swanger all alone six yards out for the finish.
 
Case's best opportunity came early in the second half when Jacob Grindel had a shot that was saved 10 yards off the line by UR keeper Michael Shatkin.  The ensuing rebound went out to the Spartans' Michael Balog who took a shot at the open net which ended up being blocked away by the Yellowjacket defense for a corner kick.
 
In the goals, Shatkin earned the victory making that one save while Calvin Boyle turned away five shots in the loss.
 
The Yellowjackets held a 10-6 shot advantage and earned four corners to Case Western Reserve's two.
 
Rochester must now wait and see if their resume is good enough to earn an at-large berth into the NCAA Division III tournament.  The field for the postseason tournament will be announced on Monday afternoon.
