CARLISLE, Pa -- Two second-half goals by Oscar Horwitz and Steven Yakita helped break a 1-1 tie at halftime that uplifted Franklin & Marshall (8-1-0, 3-1-0 CC) past Dickinson 3-1 (0-7-0, 4-0-0) in an Centennial Conference (CC) matchup on Saturday afternoon.

In quick fashion, A.J. Kopacz netted the opening goal for the Diplomats within the first two minutes of the contest. Shay Adamson lofted a floating free kick into the box, which was corralled and slotted home for the 1-0 lead. The goal was the fifth in four games for Kopacz, as the senior forward has now scored in four straight contests.

Dickinson responded to the early F&M goal with one of their own in the ninth minute. That 1-1 scoreline held through halftime.

In the second half, an early corner kick helped set up the Diplomats' offense for Horwitz's go-ahead goal within the fifth minute to hand F&M a 2-1 lead. Quick passing at the top of the box led to an open shot from 15 yards away for Horwitz, who netted his first career goal.

After a Red Devils' turnover in their own territory, Horwitz slid a pass to Yakita on the left side of the box who finished with confidence for a 3-1 lead in the 63rd minute.

Defensively, F&M did their job - not allowing another shot the rest of the way to seal the victory.

Henry Cooke not have to encounter any save situations in his first career victory.

Offensively, the Diplomats outshot Dickinson's 10-1 and recorded twice as many corner kicks with six.

Kopacz and Koa Kaliebe led the way for F&M with two shots each.

F&M's next task at hand will be the hosting Scranton at Tylus Field on Wednesday night at 7:00pm in non-conference action.
