The Ohio State men’s soccer team claimed the 2002 Scarlet and Gray Classic Championship Sunday with a 2-0 victory over Richmond in the tournament’s title game. With the victory, the Buckeyes improve to 2-0 on the young 2002 season. Leading the charge for the Buckeyes was forward Andy Rosenband (Sr., Hammond, Ind.) who scored his second and third goals of the season. After a scoreless first half, Rosenband opened scoring in the 51st minute by knocking in a Justin Cook (Jr., Winter Springs, Fla.) pass from the top of the 6-yard box. Rosenband would add an insurance goal in the 86th minute, also from Cook. Chad Brown (So./Rockford, Ill.), meanwhile, earned his second shutout in his two starts this season. Cook was named tournament MVP for his efforts in the win over Richmond as well as in a 2-0 victory over East Carolina on Friday. Rosenband, who notched three goals in the tournament’s two games, along with Buckeye captain Tony Earp (Sr./Plantation, Fla.) and midfielder Jake Traeger (Sr./Littleton, Colo.) were also named to the all-tournament team
Rosenband was selected as the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week for his performance in the Scarlet and Gray Classic. Rosenband scored three goals in two games, helping the Buckeyes claim the Scarlet and Gray Classic championship. Rosenband connected on three of his nine shots, tallying six total points. Rosenband, OSU’s leading scorer in 2001, scored one goal in a 2-0 win against East Carolina Friday night and scored two goals in the second half against a scrappy Richmond squad Sunday to help the Buckeyes improve their record to 2-0 on the young season. The Buckeyes will head west this week to take part in the NIKE/Goal Rush Classic in Fresno, Calif. Ohio State will take on Loyola-Marymount Friday at 7:30 p.m. and Fresno State Sunday at 5:30 p.m. Both times are local to site.
The field hockey team opened the 2002 season by going 2-1 in California. The Buckeyes lost to Stanford, 1-0 in overtime Saturday. They came back and shut out Pacific, 3-0 Sunday in Palo Alto, Calif. OSU defeated Cal, 1-0 in overtime Tuesday in Palo Alto, Calif. Mariana Solorzano scored two-consecutive game winning goals against Pacific and Cal.

The 57-member team was voted on by the four league institutions that sponsor the sport (Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia), as decided by the league’s 50th Anniversary Committee. Breschi, a defenseman for the Tar Heels from 1987-90, was a first team All-America selection in 1990 and an honorable mention All-America pick in 1989. He was a two-time first team All-ACC honoree (1989 and ’90) and was the MVP of the ACC tournament in 1990. UNC won three conference championships during Breschi’s time with the squad and he served as team captain as a senior.
