Boys soccer: Lakeland top Ketcham

September

All-state goalie Dan Foci had a goal and an assist in his first game at forward — including a penalty kick that proved to be the winning goal as Lakeland rallied to beat Ketcham, 2-1.

The Hornets trailed 1-0 at halftime. Andy Fazio scored the first goal for Lakeland (3-1). Ketcham slipped to 4-2.

Foci, a two-time all-Section goalie and first-team Journal News all-star as a junior, had shoulder surgery on July 8.

“He was cleared for the field but not for diving,” coach Tim Hourahan said. “We’re going to use him wherever we need him. Today was up top, and he stepped up in our biggest win of the year so far. We’re hoping he gets clearance to play goalie before the season ends. But sophomore Steven Reiche is doing a great job.”

Reiche had six saves against Ketcham.
