Men's Soccer Beats Saint Peter's 3-0 in MAAC Opener

POUGHKEEPSIE, New York – The Marist men's soccer team (5-4-0) picked up its first Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference victory and moved over .500 with a 3-0 win vs the Saint Peter's Peacocks on Wednesday night at Tenney Stadium.

SUMMARY:

For the fourth consecutive game, the Red Foxes got on the board first when junior co-captain Simon Lund Jorgensen found senior co-captain Kevin Kappock on the right side who sent a cross into the box that bounced past the Peacock defenders and goalie and into the bottom left corner for the 1-0 lead. Twenty two minutes into the second half, a Saint Peter's hand ball in the box gave Marist a penalty kick and sophomore Samad Bounthong slotted it home inside the left post for the 2-0 lead. Just over six minutes later, Lund Jorgensen fed freshman Blake Aronson on the left side who took it to the end line before feeding a cross into the box that found freshman Allen Gavilanes who ripped the shot into the back of the net for the 3-0 victory.

KEY STATS:
  • The Red Foxes outshot the Peacocks 24-7 and 9-2 in shots on goal
  • Marist had 10 corner kicks to Saint Peter's 4
 
GAME NOTES:
  • As a freshman, Gavilanes now leads the team in goals (4), assists (6), shots (24) and shots on goal (10). His goal gives him at least one point in his last four consecutive games and seven of nine so far this season.
  • The 24 shots marks the second consecutive game the Red Foxes finished with over 20 shots
  • In three games this season at Tenney Stadium, Marist is 3-0 and has scored 3 goals in each match
  • Kappock's goal in the first half was his first of 2017 and the third of his career
 
QUOTE

"It's always good to get off in conference play on the right note. Three points is three points and that is what we talked about before the game. Winning at home is huge in this conference and for about 70-75 minutes we were the better team so we deserved it tonight." – head coach Matt Viggiano.

UP NEXT:

The Red Foxes are back in action on Saturday, Sept. 30 as they head south to Riverdale, NY for a matchup with the Manhattan Jaspers at 2 p.m.
