Bronshvag's Second Half Score on Free Kick Propels Men's Soccer to 1-0 Victory

BRONXVILLE, N.Y. - The Sarah Lawrence men's soccer team defeated the Old Westbury Panthers by a score of 1-0 on Tuesday night, with a second-half score by all-conference midfielder Leon Bronshvag proving to by the game-winner.

Notable Performers
  • Bronshvag scored off a free kick in the 55th minute to give SLC their eventual game-winning score
  • Jonah Zalis played all 90 minutes in goal for the Gryphons, making five saves and keeping the Panthers off the board
  • Ryan Gunderson played north of 20 minutes for SLC, putting a shot on goal and playing a key role in SLC's control of the midfield

How it Happened

Both teams struggled to find a rhythm early on, with the first half ending scoreless despite several chances from both sides. Sarah Lawrence dominated possession, taking 17 shots compared to Old Westbury's 6. However, the Gryphons couldn't break through, thanks to a strong performance by Old Westbury goalkeeper Andy Chacho, who made six saves in the first 45 minutes. The Panthers had opportunities of their own, with Jonah Zalis standing tall in goal for the Gryphons, making five saves in the first half to keep the game level.

The second half continued with Sarah Lawrence maintaining pressure. Finally, in the 55th minute, Leon Bronshvag broke the deadlock with a decisive unassisted goal off a free kick, his second of the season, giving the Gryphons the lead. Bronshvag's goal came shortly after Old Westbury's Tiago Tirado was shown a yellow card, and Sarah Lawrence capitalized on the momentum. Despite the Panthers' efforts to equalize, they managed only three shots in the second half, none of which seriously threatened Zalis. Sarah Lawrence's defense held firm throughout the remainder of the half to secure the 1-0 victory.
