Men’s soccer earn first victory of the season

Another week is in the books for the Suffolk Men’s soccer team.  This week featured just one match against Anna Maria on Saturday, Sept 21.

This afternoon game proved to be the first win of the year for the men’s club.  Tallying three goals in the first half, and another before the final whistle, Suffolk was victorious by a final score of 4-0.

Suffolk’s first three goals all came in a 10 minute span. Andres Cohen started the party by notching his first goal of the year at the 26-minute mark. Jeff Kelly assisted Cohen’s goal, and he was just getting started.

Just over four minutes later, Cohen doubled his season total for goals by netting another, with a gorgeous assist by Senior Jeff Williams.

The final goal of the half was right around the corner as Aaron Haggas was good for an unassisted goal just seven minutes after Cohen’s second.

Suffolk went into the half finally being rewarded for their offensive woes that have transpired over the first five games of the season.

In the second half, Suffolk realized their lead and did not just hold onto it, but extended it.

In the 51st minute of the game, Andres Cohen completed the hat trick and secured the first victory of the season for the Rams soccer team.

Cohen’s third goal of the season, and of the game was assisted by Juan Lazcano bello.

Goalkeeper Nicholas Chamma was solid between the posts, not allowing the five shots on goal he saw during the game to enter the net. This is his first shutout of the year

Now that the monkey is off their back and they have their first win of the season, the Rams look to keep on rolling and are trying to pick up momentum to make some noise in the conference.

Despite a 1-5 record, Suffolk is still 1-1 in the conference and will play a majority of their remaining games against conference opponents.

This week they will have two games, one being against conference opponent Lasell, Saturday at 1 p.m.

The team’s other game this week will be Wednesday at home at 7 p.m.

Be sure to watch if this men’s soccer team can make a run and start to improve their record. They are a hungry group of players who are determined to turn this season around.
