Box Score

The University of Mary Washington men's soccer team scored three goals in the first half that helped them secure a 5-1 victory at St. Mary's on Saturday afternoon. The Eagles improve to 8-0-2 overall, and 1-0-1 in the CAC.

In the first half, Justin Carey got the scoring started for UMW as he banged in a free kick from the edge of the box in the 20th minute. The Eagles didn't stop there as they added a second goal just five minutes later as Idrissa Barrie scored on an assist from Jeremy Hokenson to put UMW up 2-0.

Over the next 13 minutes, the two teams played back-and-forth as they both had some chances. Noah Mazzatenta gave the Eagles a three goal lead as he put away a shot that was assisted by Joshua Everard at the 38:37 mark. UMW held a 3-0 lead going into half. 

Both teams played even over the first 30 minutes of the second half. St. Mary's scored a goal in the 76th minute to put the score at 3-1. Hokenson put the game away in the 83rd minute as he was played a long ball, headed it to himself, and then played it past the goalie to put the Eagles up 4-1. Ben Ahrens capped the scoring for UMW as he netted a goal in the last minute to secure a 5-1 win for the Eagles.

UMW had 11 shots and one corner kick. Ken Kurtz made six saves on the day.
