Miners make the most of one to bump off 20th-ranked Drury

9/26/2010 3:40:54 PM

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Missouri S&T's men's soccer managed only one shot on goal Sunday – but made that opportunity count as Springfield native Caleb Collier (Springfield, Mo./Kickapoo) put it into the net to give the Miners a 1-0 victory over No. 20-ranked Drury in Great Lakes Valley Conference play.
Collier, who played his prep soccer at Kickapoo High School in Springfield, notched the goal at the 29:47 mark when he put a shot from just off the right side of the goal past goalkeeper Stephen Conner.
From that point, the Miner defense and goalkeeper Pat McNamee (Fenton, Mo./Vianney ) made that goal stand up. Drury ended the contest with a 12-2 advantage in shots overall, but only two of the 12 Panther shots made it to McNamee and he turned both of them away to record his 14th career shutout – one away from the S&T career record held by his older brother Mike.
The only Drury shots to make it on goal came in the final 15 minutes, as McNamee stopped an attempt by Danny Collins in the 77th minute and by Matt Baker in the 84th minute. The Panthers had two late shots that were wide of the net.
The victory moves the Miners to 3-2-2 overall and 3-1-2 in GLVC play, which also includes a road win over Lewis to go along with Sunday's over the Panthers, the 2009 league champions.  It also marks the second time in the last five years that the Miners have knocked off a nationally-ranked Drury team.

Missouri S&T's next contest is slated for Friday when it plays at Missouri-St. Louis in a 7:30 p.m. game.
