Second Half Surge Gives Men's Soccer AEC Opening Win

ARLINGTON, Va. - Marymount men's soccer opened up Atlantic East Conference play with a win, scoring three unanswered goals in the second half to take down the visiting Griffins of Gwynedd-Mercy.

With the win, the Saints move to 6-4-1 overall on the season, now 1-0 in AEC action.

NOTABLE
  • Leonardo Torres notched two in the net on the afternoon, moving his goal total to nine for the season. 
  • Reece Ventura kicked in his third goal of the season in the win. 
  • Manny Gaunaurd, Nicolas Robles, and Francisco Rodriguez each notched an assist in the winning effort. 
  • A clean sheet from the defense was key in the tight matchup, with Bayron Banegas punching away a pair of saves. 
  • The Saints outshot the Griffins 25-6. 
  • MU has won six of their last seven matches. 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • With the Saints pressing on the offensive end of the pitch in the first half, they found trouble hitting the back of the net, sending the game into halftime tied up at 0-0.
  • The second half was all Marymount yet again, this time exploding for three goals to take the contest.
  • In the 67th minute, Gaunaurd found Reece with a strong cross for the open look, powering the ball past the Griffins' goalkeeper to take the lead.
  • Torres added on with his first goal of the game in the 85th minute, with Robles finding him for the slot through the GMU defense.
  • To finish the scoring, Rodriguez sent the ball to Torres, who made a quick move and sank the goal for the third and final of the day.
HEAR FROM COACH KALIN
  • "I think our first half performance lacked energy and focus in the final third.  The second half we played Marymount soccer and created better chances from the flanks and were fearless and more aggressive in the box and it produced three good goals. Make no mistake though, Gwynedd is much improved from last year and gave us a scare. Defensively, I was pretty pleased with how we limited them to just two chances at goal."  
UP NEXT
  • The Saints will hit the road to Immaculata on Wednesday for an AEC matchup at 7 PM.
  • They will finish the week at Cabrini on Saturday at 12 PM.
