Furman Blanks Appalachian State; Nusum Ties Goals, Points Record
GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Furman freshman John Barry Nusum
tied the school records for points and goals in a game Sunday as the 16th-ranked
Furman men's soccer team celebrated Homecoming and senior day with a 6-0
shutout of league foe Appalachian State at Eugene Stone Soccer Stadium.
Nusum connected on four goals for the Paladins and
added an assist on a Jack Handy goal to tally nine points for the match,
tying the record set by Sean Callaghan in 1984 and equaled by Scott Broderick
in 1985. In addition, Nusum's four goals tied a school mark that
was also last matched in 1985, and gave the freshman from Devonshire, Bermuda,
the first hat trick of his collegiate career.
In addition to striking often in the game, Nusum
struck early, scoring his first goal just 1:28 into the contest off a pass
from Andy White. He added his second score at the 37:37 mark off
a Daniel Alvarez assist, while Andy Foy scored 41:06 into the game off
a double assist from Alvarez and Seth Marks to give Furman a 3-0 advantage
at the break.
Less than four minutes into the second period (48:51),
Nusum attacked again, heading a ball past the reach of ASU goalie Robert
Black for his third goal of the day, and at the 57:18 mark received an
assist when freshman Handy tallied the first goal of his career.
Nusum's fourth and final goal of the day was at 65:31 on a header that
flew just over the hands of the ASU defender.
With the Southern Conference victory, the Paladins
improved to 12-2-2 on the year and 5-1 in league action. ASU dropped
to 10-5 overall and 2-2 in the Southern Conference. The Paladins
are in action again on Tuesday, October 20, at The Citadel and face fourth
ranked Clemson next Sunday at Clemson.
