WINONA, Minn. — It was a day of firsts atOchrymowycz Field Friday evening.

The first collegiate goal off the foot of JuvenelD’Haiti.

The first collegiate shutout — in his first collegiatestart — by goalkeeper Jim Schultz.

And last, but certainly not least, the first win of theseason — in the first game of the season — for theSaint Mary’s University men’s soccer team.

The Cardinals’ got a late, second-half goal byD’Haiti and the three-save shutout effort by Schultz enroute to a 1-0 nonconference win over Presentation.

“What a great way to start the season,” said SMUcoach Chris Dembiec, whose starting lineup includedeight players making their first-ever collegiate start.“We had so many new faces in the lineup that I reallydidn’t know what to expect. We were a little ragged inthe first half, and I think a lot of that can be attributedto nerves. But once we settled down, I thought weplayed pretty well — especially for a first game.”

D’Haiti gave the Cardinals all the offense theywould need, feathering a free kick from 22 yards outaround the Saints’ wall, and into the right-hand corner,just past the outstretched arm of Presentation goalieJoseph Romero.

And Schultz & Co. made that one goal stand up.“Defensively, I thought we were pretty solid — to

get a shutout against a team as offensively talented as(Presentation), that’s impressive,” said Dembiec, not-ing that the Saints — winners of the UMAC champi-onsihp a year ago — returned their top five scorersfrom last season. “It’s so nice to open the season witha win. The guys played hard, and were rewarded fortheir effort.”
