Bobcats Roll to Win on Senior Day

Seniors: Cody Butts, Scott Wasser, Yacob Kahsai, Abiye Jack, Godwin Amuzie,
Ryan Russell, Shawn Baker

On Saturday afternoon the boys finished off conference play with a 3-1 win over Marymount and a 3-1-2 record in the CAC.

The game started on a positive note after Ryan Russell was fouled in the box and Shawn Baker converted the penalty kick just five minutes into the game. Unfortunately, Marymount responded with a penalty kick of their own six minutes later and the game would be tied 1-1. We struggled the remainder of the half and really didn't do much to threaten the Marymount goal. It was one of our more sloppy halves of soccer that we had played all season.

We made some adjustments for the second half and came out with a much better focus and began to dictate the play. Shawn Baker would score his sixth goal of the season when he tapped home a corner kick off of a Godwin Amuzie flick with just under three minutes gone in the half. We held Marymount in check and out shot them 14 -2 for the half. Junior Alex Brainard would score his first collegiate goal to put the game away in the 85th minute off an assist from Baker.

We said goodbye to seven seniors; Shawn Baker, Abiye Jack, Yacob Kahsai, Godwin Amuzie, Cody Butts, Scott Wasser, and Ryan Russell. In the last two seasons this class has recorded a 22-4-9 record and has helped the team advance to the CAC semi-finals.

With the win we are now 11-1-4 and will be the #2 seed in the CAC Playoffs. We will have a bye for the first round and will be home on Wednesday Oct 31st for the semi-finals.
