Senior midfielder Jason Rudder and senior back Trevor Kelley both scored goals as East Stroudsburg University upset No. 18-ranked Mercyhurst 2-1 in non-conference men’s soccer on Saturday afternoon in northwest Pennsylvania.
Mercyhurst cut the deficit to 2-1 with 8:23 left on a goal by Paul Neill, but ESU held off the Lakers, who held advantages of 23-15 in shots and 8-0 in corner kicks.
Senior goalkeeper Larry Pokrywa made five saves for ESU and Diego Gustin was credited with four saves for Mercyhurst.
The Warriors are back at Eiler-Martin Stadium on Tuesday with a non-conference game against Holy Family in the second half of a doubleheader.
