10-14-08 CHAMINADE 2-1 W

That both of these teams actually scored a goal against each other was news let along that one had prevailed in a match up of top Catholic League, Long Island and nationally ranked squads.

When defender Adam Weinzimmer took a pass from fellow senior Karl Rumph and deposited it into the net for a 1-0 lead 10 minutes into the contest it was one more goal than either team tallied in a 0-0 draw on Sept. 30.

Then junior forward Orlando Castanada dished to senior midfielder Mike Valencia and with 17 minutes remaining in the game scored the game winner. Don Anding had knocked in the equalizer 22 minutes in.

The Friars are now 7-0-1 and is ranked fourth in a nationwide poll kept by ESPN. The 7-1-1 Chaminade squad is ranked eighth in the identical poll.
