St. John's-1-Washington-0

Schmid's Second Half Goal Leads No. 2 St. John's Over No. 21 Washington

Sept. 6, 2004

Queens, NY - St. John's senior Andre Schmid (Sacramento, CA) scored in the second half, lifting the second-ranked St. John's men's soccer team to a 1-0 win over No. 21 Washington in front of 1,095 fans at Belson Stadium tonight.

St. John's finally broke through in the 79th minute, when Schmid picked up a deflection in the box and sent a blast from 12 yards out that beat Washington keeper Chris Eylander to the lower left. Schmid picked up the deflection off a shot from senior Matt Groenwald (Mt. Prospect, IL) from the top of the 18-yard box.

The Red storm controlled play though much of the first half, despite the Huskies getting the first shot attempt, with a poke from Washington's Brett Wiesner going wide in the fourth minute. From that point forward, however, St. John's was in control, as Groenwald and freshman Andrei Gotsmanov (St. Paul, MN) each had chances.

St. John's had a pair of chances in the waning moments of regulation. The first shot from Groenwald came as he dribbled down the end line and took a blast that went just wide. A free kick from 40 yards out was deflected to the top of the box on the far side, where junior Jeff Carroll (Springfield, VA) headed the ball and it was saved by Washington defender Mike Chabala.

Senior Bill Gaudette (Hummelstown, PA) posted his second consecutive shutout to open the season, as he grabbed two saves. St. John's out shot the Huskies 13-to-5 and also held a 9-to-1 advantage in corner kicks on the night.

St. John's plays next on Friday, September 10 at Maryland in a rematch of last year's Final Four match, in which the Red Storm advanced, 1-0. Kickoff at the Maryland/adidas Classic is set for 8 pm
