October 29, 2008
Keuka College soccer stars Alyssa Gumtow (Framington, N.Y./Victor) and Mike Tempesta (Rochester, N.Y./Greece Olympia) were both named Athlete of the Week after both scoring overtime game-winning goals in the week of Oct. 25.
Gumtow, a junior forward, led Keuka to a 1-0-1 week while scoring two of the Storm’s three goals in its 3-2 double overtime win over SUNYIT. Gumtow’s first goal gave the Storm a 2-1 lead with 37 minutes remaining in the second half. The Wildcats tied the game in the 66th minute, sending it to overtime. In the second extra period, Keuka kicked a shot that was saved by SUNYIT’s goalie. Gumtow was in perfect position to kick in the rebound with just 1:39 left before the end of the game. For the season, Gumtow has three goals and four assists for 10 points.
Tempesta, a senior midfielder, helped guide Keuka to a 2-0 week while single handedly winning the Storm’s game against Daemen College. Trailing 2-0 in the second half, Tempesta cut the Wildcats lead to 2-1 after scoring on a penalty kick (2-for-2 on the season). Tempesta then assisted on the game-tying goal in the 62nd minute. In overtime, Tempesta kicked in the game-winner 6:31 into the extra period to give the Storm the win. On the year, Tempesta has three goals and a team-leading five assists for 11 points.
