Rochester Wins UAA Title
CLEVELAND � Sophomore goalkeeper Michael Peacock made seven saves to post his fifth shutout this year as the University of Rochester won the University Athletic Association men�s soccer championship with a 3-0 victory over eighth-ranked Case Western Reserve.
By virtue of the title, the Yellowjackets will receive a Pool A (automatic) bid into the NCAA Division III playoffs. It will be Rochester�s third straight playoff appearance and its second UAA title in the last three years. Case won the UAA crown last year, beating Rochester, 2-1 at Fauver Stadium.
Rochester took only five shots at goal, but three of them wound up behind Case goalkeeper Chad Skidmore. Bobby Milenovici made it 1-0 at 10:06, driving home a pass from Nick Mikolenko. Steve Welles scored an unassisted goal at 43:12, and J.J. Dennstedt completed the scoring at 84:25 with Patrick Ripp picking up the assist.
The Yellowjackets are unbeaten in their last 11 matches � 10 victories and a tie. In that run, Rochester has beaten three Top 10 teams, and all by shutout: 1-0 over #9 NYU on Oct. 6, 1-0 in double overtime over #10 Emory on Oct. 14, and 3-0 over #8 Case on Nov. 3.
Rochester improved to 13-2-2 overall, 6-0-1 in the UAA. The Yellowjackets won the UAA title by one point over Emory.
