Sept. 23, 2014 | Bearcats Sports Complx / Vestal, N.Y. | Attendance: 647

VESTAL, N.Y. -- The 18th-ranked Syracuse men's soccer team continued it's white-hot start with a 1-0 victory against Central New York rival Binghamton (2-6-0) on Tuesday, Sept. 23 at the Bearcats Sports Complex. At 7-1-0, the Orange is off to its best start through eight games since the 1984 season when the club also opened with seven wins in its first eight matches.
The Orange dominated the Bearcats from the opening whistle. In the first half, the Orange outshot Binghamton 8-2, controlling the ball in the attacking third for the majority of the period. Forward Alex Halis had two shots on goal in the stanza, while Oyvind Alseth and Julian Buescher continually ensured the visitors maintained possession by rarely allowing Binghamton to cross the midline.
In the second half, Syracuse's hard work in the offensive end paid off as Emil Ekblom broke the stalemate in the 65th minute, scoring the match's only goal off a cross from Jordan Murrell. Murrell started the deciding play by carrying the ball into the attacking third. He then sent a pass to the front of the goal that deflected off Binghamton goalkeeper Robert Moewes to a waiting Ekblom, who slotted the ball into the right side of the net for his fourth game-winner of the season and second in as many games.
Ekblom's goal was all the Orange needed as it turned in another superb defensive peformance. Syracuse allowed just five shots in the contest. All were on goal, but junior keeper Alex Bono was once again up to the challenge. He stopped all five shots to earn his ACC-leading seventh shutout of the season.
The Orange finished the match with an 18-5 advantage in shots, 12 of which were on frame. The Orange also earned eight corners, while Binghamton managed only one.
Moewes had a terrific night in goal for the Beacats, single-handedly keeping them in the match. He recorded a career-high 11 saves, including an athletic stop on a header by SU senior captain Skylar Thomas in the 71st minute. Thomas' attempt was ticketed for the back of the net until Moewes deflected it up and over the bar.
Up next for the Orange is ACC rival Virginia. Syracuse hosts the Cavaliers on Saturday, Sept. 27 at 7 p.m. at the SU Soccer Stadium. Admission is free.
Match Notes: Bono now has 25 shutouts and 30 career victories. He is just the third SU goalie to reach the 30-win plateau, joining Joe Papaleo (44) and Chris Whitcomb (36) ... Murrell's assist was his team-leading fourth of the season and the 17th of his career, putting him in a tie for eighth place on SU's all-time assists chart with Scott Owsiany (1984-87) ... Syracuse has won three straight against Binghamton and five of the last seven meetings.

Syracuse squeaks past Binghamton, 1-0
By Josh HyberStaff Writer

VESTAL, N.Y. — Syracuse players stood in the Binghamton 18-yard box with their arms in the air in celebration. After several close-range opportunities in the first half, the Orange thought it finally broke through 15 minutes into the second half.
A Syracuse fan in attendance said loudly, “That ball crossed the line.”
But the header from Syracuse midfielder Nick Perea was caught by Binghamton goalkeeper Robert Moewes just in front of the goal line.
Both Syracuse and Binghamton failed to capitalize on numerous opportunities on Tuesday night at the Bearcats Sports Complex. But Syracuse (7-1, 1-1 Atlantic Coast) did just enough, and behind a second-half goal from Emil Ekblom escaped with a 1-0 victory over the Bearcats (2-6).
“It’s definitely pleasing. I was talking to some of the guys after the game and I said, ‘I think we’re the only team in the entire country that gets mad when we outshoot a team 18-to-5 and win 1-0,’” Bono said. “It definitely wasn’t our best game of the season … but we’re happy to come away with a win.”
Syracuse had numerous man-up breaks. With eight of its 18 shots coming in the first half – including point-blank chances from Ekblom and Noah Rhynhart – SU head coach Ian McIntyre said the team was frustrated after 45 minutes.
But 19 minutes into the second half, Syracuse defender Jordan Murrell dribbled the ball near the left sideline. Murrell sent a pass to the middle to Chris Nanco, who flicked the ball to an on-rushing Ekblom. The striker placed a shot into the right side of the net for his fifth goal of the season.
“(Binghamton) had a couple of chances,” Ekblom said. “I think we did alright, came to a difficult place, a hard-working team. So at least we got the win and that’s the most important thing.”
The Orange had an opportunity to put the game away with seven minutes left as Perea sent a back-heel pass to Nanco, who sent the shot over the bar. With the ball in the Syracuse’s defensive third for the last five minutes of the match and most of the second half, Binghamton couldn’t find an equalizer.
“The longer the game goes on, you worry that they’re going to nick one,” McIntyre said. “We could have slowed the game down, but we kept going for that second goal.”
Twice in the first half a ball landed behind SU goalkeeper Alex Bono. Twice, a Syracuse defender cleared away the in-close Bearcats scoring attempt.
Twelve minutes into the match, Bearcats midfielder Charlie Novoth crossed a pass into the box for forward Ben Ovetsky. With Bono pulled out of the goal, SU defender Skylar Thomas cleared the ball as it sat feet from the goal line.
“I try not to make any mistakes, but when I do I know that those guys are back there to make up for my mistakes,” Bono said. “Because when it comes down to it, I’m there to make up for theirs. So I expect the same from them.”
With 18 minutes left in the half, Novoth headed down a crossing pass into the goal box. With Bono caught in a scramble, defender Louis Cross cleared the ball into a pile of players. Novoth put another shot on goal that was blocked and kicked away by Murrell.
Syracuse also had two point-blank chances in the half. Ekblom took a through ball from Julian Buescher and had a one-on-one with the keeper but his shot was kicked away by Moewes. Rhynhart also had a half-breakaway with 6:50 left in the half that the keeper just got a piece of to deflect it wide.
With a matchup looming against No. 2 Virginia on Saturday night at the SU Soccer Stadium, SU survived the trap game.
“These Binghamton games are real tests,” McIntyre said. “ … This is a real tough place to come. You know you’re in for a real dogfight for 90 minutes.”
