Philadelphia, Pa. (9/16/17) The men's soccer season continued as they traveled to Chestnut Hill on Saturday. Seeking their first win of the season, the Chargers knew a strong effort would be important in earning their first victory.
Freshman goalkeeper Joshua Stephens (Stony Creek, Ontario), is seeking his first win of the year but also his first win of his career. Stephens made 7 saves in the game giving his team a good chance to win. The Chargers got off to a fast start when Sergio Monton (Madrid, Spain) scored an unassisted goal off of a penalty kick at the 18:47 mark for his third goal of the year. Monton fired 6 of the Chargers 14 shots during the duration of the game while 4 of his shots were recorded on net. This would be the Chargers only goal of the game as they held the 1-0 lead through the rest of the first half and most of the second half.
The Griffins finally broke through with a goal late in the second half at the 85:02 mark by Jason Burns who was assisted by Tales Domingues. Only 4 minutes later, Burns scored his second goal of the game in the last minute to give the Griffins the lead which ultimately was the deciding factor. The Griffins' goalkeeper Frank Maniscalco made 6 saves in the game and kept his team in the game long enough to where they were able to steal the win from the Chargers late.
The Griffins improve to 3-3 (2-1 CACC) and will host Roberts Wesleyan College next Wednesday. The Chargers fall to 0-6 (0-3 CACC) after the loss and will continue their quest for their first win on Tuesday when they host Caldwell University.
