Giants Rally to Double Up Knights, 4-2

Netherlin and Okoro score two goals apiece as Keystone overcomes early two-goal deficit

La Plume, Pa. – Talhah Netherlin (Bethlehem, Pa./Liberty) and Chiemeka Okoro (Ewing, N.J./Ewing) scored two goals apiece help Keystone College overcome an early two-goal deficit and defeat visiting Berkeley College (N.Y.) 4-2 in a non-conference men's soccer game on Monday afternoon.  The Giants improve to 3-2 with their third straight victory.
 
Berkeley (1-1) opened the just 5:21 into Monday's contest when Matthew Perreira stole the ball from a Keystone defender and placed a shot into the right side of the net from the top of the penalty area to give the Knights a 1-0 advantage.
 
Berkeley doubled their lead in the 17th minute when Jean-Gardy Derineau scored from close range after taking a thru-ball from Perreira with Meshema Charles also picking up an assist on the visitor's second goal.
 
Keystone got on the board in the 24th minute when Netherlin scored by one-touching home a cross from Carlos Bonilla (Clermont, Fla./East Ridge), who picked up his second assist of the season on the tally.
 
The Giants knotted the game up at 2-2 in the 43rd minute when Okoro ran onto a long ball played over top of the Berkeley defense by Jalen Freeman (Westampton, N.J./Rancocas Valley Regional) and blasted home a shot from 10 yards out.
 
The score remained tied at two-apiece at halftime with Keystone holding a 17-5 advantage in shots over the opening 45 minutes of play.
 
Keystone claimed its first lead of the afternoon in the 57th minute as Netherlin converted a penalty kick for his second marker of the contest to give the Giants a 3-2 edge.
 
Okoro gave the hosts an insurance goal in the 78th minute by battling to finish off a ball that was misplayed by the Berkeley defense for his second tally of the game and fourth in the last two contests as the Giants claimed a 4-2 lead.    
 
Steven Heintz, Jr. (Ardsley, Pa./Abington) picked up the win in goal by making three saves while Ronnie Roman turned aside 14 shots for Berkeley.
 
The Giants held a 25-9 advantage in shots for the game including an 18-5 lead in shots on goal.  The host also claimed a 5-3 edge in corner kick chances on the day. 
 
Keystone returns to action on Saturday afternoon with a non-conference game at Penn State Altoona starting at 2:00 p.m.
