Men’s Soccer Beats Manhattan to Continue Streak

Jaime Scores Game-Winner in Final Seconds to Cap Off Career Day

RIVERDALE, New York – Marist men's soccer (6-6, 3-2 MAAC) stunned Manhattan (3-8, 2-3 MAAC) in the final seconds of regulation to win their third straight game. Justin Jaime had a part in all three Red Fox goals, assisting on two and coming up clutch with the game-winner.
 
SUMMARY
  • Samad Bounthong scored in the 33rd minute to give the Red Foxes a 1-0 lead. He tapped in an easy pass from Jaime to get on the board.
  • The Red Foxes dominated the first half, outshooting the Jaspers 6-3 with six corner kicks to none.
  • Manhattan came out strong in the second half, and recorded four shots in a row while Marist only tallied one in the first 15 minutes.
  • The Jaspers eventually struck gold on two attempts, as Tristan Doran and Berti Fourrier scored in the 73rd and 75th minutes.
  • Not to be outdone, Stefan Copetti tied up the game in the 80th minute on another assist from Jaime. The score was 2-2 with ten minutes to go.
  • As the game was heading towards overtime, Jaime broke free of his defender and scored the game-winning goal with just six seconds left on the clock. The Jaspers could only kick the ball into the air with the time remaining, and Marist earned the win in Riverdale.
STATS
  • Bounthong and Copetti each scored their third goals of the season.
  • Samuel Ilin and Manhattan goalkeeper Marcellin Gohier each made two saves.
  • Jaime's goal was his second of the season.
NOTES
  • Four points was the most scored by a Marist player in a single game this year.
  • Copetti is now the Red Fox leader in points with nine (3G, 3A).
  • Jaime's assists were the first of his career.
QUOTE
"It was a gutsy win for sure, and the guys showed a lot of character after going down," lauded head coach Matt Viggiano. "We need to do a better job of making the most of our chances, especially when we had them on the ropes early in the game. Credit to Manhattan for their push, but I'm glad we dug deep and played the full 90. We have to keep learning, working, and battling for each other and the good results will follow."
