Leicester, Mass. - Freshman forward David Ferreira scored his first collegiate goal to break a 1-1 tie and give Anna Maria College a 2-1 victory over Clark University in game one of the 2009 Worcester City Men's Soccer Tournament held at Becker College's Alumni Field.

Clark's senior midfielder Jeremy Radovsky (South San Francisco, Calif.) scored the first goal at the five and a half minute mark to give the Cougars a quick 1-0 lead. Teammate William Van Noppen (Providence, R.I.) collected his first college assist on the play.

Anna Maria tied the game just shy of the 20 minute mark on a goal from George Markopoulos.

Ferreira's goal at the 78 minute was spectacular - he headed the ball inside the left corner past Clark's goaltender Baran Cansever (Southboro, Mass.) from a great pass from Jonathan Alexandre after an AMCATS throw in deep in Cougar territory.

AMC goaltender Eric Perkins robbed Clark freshman Gianluca Ranallo (Scarsdale, N.Y.) with a point blank save with less than 30 seconds to play to preserve the victory. Perkins finished with nine stops.

On Sunday, September 6, Clark (0-1) will face Becker College at 2:30 PM and Anna Maria College (1-0) will take on WPI at noon. Both games will be played on AMC's campus.
