Blazers Drop to JWU

Providence, RI – The Elms College men's soccer team dropped their GNAC conference game against Johnson & Wales University on Sunday late afternoon 0-2.

THE BASICS:

SCORE: Elms 0 | JWU 2
RECORDS: Elms (5-8-0, 4-6-0 GNAC)

HOW IT HAPPENED:

After a scoreless first half that saw both teams create chances they were unable to convert.  Five minutes into the second half, the Wildcats were able to break the deadlock.

The Wildcats added one more goal with just under ten minutes remaining.

INSIDE THE NUMBERS:

- Dante Polletta, Musa Jiana, Pedro Duarte, Andwele Salmon Michael Lemke and Lance Peterkin all saw shots.

FROM THE DESK OF COACH WYSOCKI:

"We're happy overall with the effort and the fight we put into the match. We matched them well and that showed with the halftime scoreline. Injuries and suspensions meant we weren't at our full compliment, but we competed throughout. It's always tough to concede on a set piece, and pushing on late for the equalizer meant leaving ourselves exposed to the counter-attack, but we were prepared for a tough match and overall, we answered well. We need to be a bit more decisive in the final third and more clinical in front of net, but it was a good performance overall and we look to bring confidence into our next match against the league-leaders. "

UP NEXT:

- The Blazers will host another GNAC game against Saint Joseph's College, on Wednesday 10/13 for a 7PM start.
