Siena's Top-10 Moments of 2016: Moment #5

Jan. 9, 2017 As we begin 2017, we take a look back at the Top-10 Siena Athletics Moments of 2016. We continue our countdown today with Moment #5.

The Moment
Nov. 5 - Siena Soccer's first-ever postseason home match was one the Saints won't soon forget. Following a scoreless tie through 110 minutes of action, junior goalkeeper Aleksa Radosavljevic made three huge saves during the shootout to propel Siena past defending regular season champion and overwhelming preseason favorite Monmouth 3-1 in penalty kicks in the MAAC Quarterfinals at Siena Turf Field.

After both teams scored in the opening round of penalties, Radosabljevic went to work. He made three consecutive sprawling stops, his most impressive of which came in the third round. After diving to his left to deny Michael Luke, the ball deflected back to his right as Radosavljevic leapt to his feet and this time dove back to his right to knock away the loose ball just before it trickled across the goal line.

Radosavljevic then sealed the deal in the following round, robbing Monmouth's leading scorer Dave Nigro to cap the perfect ending as the celebration on the field ensued.
