Strong Second Half Carries Griffins to Home Victory

Seton Hill continued its non conference part of its schedule as it hosted the University of the District of Columbia on Wednesday afternoon in Greensburg.

SHU scored three second half goals to erase a 1-0 deficit and rally for a 3-1 victory over the FIrebirds.  SHU is now 3-1 on the season while UDC falls to 3-1. 

The Firebirds used a corner kick to take a 1-0 lead in the first half over the Griffins.  UDC scored in the 22nd minute with a header off a corner to take the one goal advantage.  

Just over four minutes into the second half the Griffins got on the board with a nice passing play.  Christofer Duran-Escobar hit a streaking Villads Jensen who then hit James Aubrey whose shot found the back of the net to tie the contest at one.  The Griffins then took advantage of a set piece as they earned a penalty kick with a chance to go ahead in the contest with less than seven minutes to play.  Julian Marker connected on the PK to give SHU a 2-1 lead.  The Griffins then put the game away with a late goal from Tristan Wilson on an assist from Jannik Reiss.  

Aubrey led SHU with three shots on goal.  Reiss made five saves in the win.

SHU will continue non conference play on Saturday when they travel to Shepherd.
