LAS VEGAS - Former Rebels Andrew Hooker, Phillip Detmer and Todd Roberts led Tyneside to a 4-2 exhibition victory over the UNLV men's soccer team Friday night at Peter Johann Memorial Field.

Tyneside, a local amateur men's club team which won a regional title and went to nationals this past year, consisted of former collegiate players from UNLV, Cal State Northridge and Saint Mary's College.

Five minutes into regulation play, Tyneside's Carlos Bordonea opened scoring after hitting the back of the net on an unchallenged goal. Later, in the final seconds of the first half, teammate Todd Roberts (1996-99) found Andrew Hooker (1998-2001) in-front of the net, who scored off a header for the 2-0 lead.

In the second half, sophomore defender Kristian Paananen (Espoo, Finland) put the Rebels on the board with a 35-yard rocket off the leftside in the 61st minute.

Two consecutive Tyneside goals followed as Phillip Detmer (1993-96) challenged goalkeeper Chris Scott (Corinth, Texas) for the put-in at 75:21. Jeff Canarelli later sneaked the ball past the near post for the team's fourth goal of the night.

In the 85th minute, junior transfer Espen Sjoevoll (Heimdal, Norway) scored in traffic off a cross pass from freshman Matt Harris (Portland, Ore.), but it would not be enough for the Rebels to even the score.

UNLV opens the 2002 regular season on Friday, August 30, hosting a four-team tournament at Peter Johann Memorial Field. MPSF rival New Mexico will face Northern Illinois at 5 p.m., while the Rebels take on Marshall in the nightcap at 7:30 p.m.
