Himeno¹s goal in the 33rd minute the difference

CHARLOTTESVILLE ­ St. John¹s forward Adam Himeno scored the game¹s only goal
in the 33rd minute and the Red Storm held on to defeat Virginia, 1-0, Friday
night at Klöckner Stadium in the Virginia Soccer Classic.

Virginia (0-1-0) created scoring opportunities throughout the game,
out-shooting St. John¹s 17-7 and holding an 8-1 advantage on corner kicks.
Freshman Brian Ownby registered two shots on goal, including one in the 88th
minute that was stopped by St. John¹s (1-0-0) goalkeeper Neal Kitson.

Kitson finished with seven saves for the shutout, as he stopped all of the
Cavaliers¹ shots on goal.

³We created good chances to win the game,² Virginia head coach George
Gelnovatch said. ³It¹s tough when you give up the first goal but I¹m
relatively pleased with how this young team performed.²

Virginia controlled much of the opening minutes, as Kitson was tested but
made saves on shots by Chris Agorsor, Ross LaBauex and Tony Tchani. St.
John¹s capitalized on its scoring opportunity, however, as Himeno finished a
pass from Tafadzwa Chiduku into the upper part of the net.

Dan Louisignau got the start in goal for UVa, and finished with three saves
in defeat.

In the earlier game of the Virginia Soccer Classic, No. 14 SMU (1-0-0)
topped Old Dominion (0-1-0), 2-0, on goals by Arthur Ivo and Manuel Mariel.

Virginia returns to Klöckner Stadium to wrap up action at the Virginia
Soccer Classic on Sunday. The Cavaliers face SMU at 8 p.m., while Old
Dominion and St. John¹s will square off at 2:30 p.m.
