Box Score Caldwell, N.J. - The Queens College men's
soccer team extended its unbeaten streak to eight games with a 5-0
blanking of Caldwell on Monday in New Jersey. The Knights
last lost came in the season opener, a 2-1 setback to Bentley, back
on September fifth. With the win, Queens improved to 6-1-2 on
the season.
Despite the lopsided score, Caldwell had more corner kicks than
QC and the two sides were very nearly even in shots. However,
Queens made the most of its chances, finding the back of the net
five times.
QC got on the board in the 12th minute of action when
Pol Narbona found Paul Sandoval inside the 18-yard box. From
about 15 yards out, Sandoval beat the goalie and the Knights had a
1-0 lead. Thirty minutes later, the Knights doubled their
lead as Aitor Gurrutxaga played a long ball up the middle for Glen
Reid, who connected on his fifth goal of the season. Queens
led 2-0 at the break.
The Knights pulled away in the second half in the
50th minute when Peter Touros took in a deflected ball
from a Cougars defender and went off the far post for the
goal. Queens led 3-0.
Five minutes later, Touros would be involved again as he played
a through ball to Jose Lopez in the box, and Lopez slid the shot
under the goalie and into the back of the net, giving the Knights a
4-0 advantage. The final marker came in the 79th
minute as Touros got his second goal of the game. Nicholas
Matsuewicz lifted a one-timer into the box and Touros finished
it.
The five goal outburst was the most goals scored by the
team in a single game since they beat Wilmington, 5-1 in the
season-opener in 2011.
The Queens College men's soccer team returns to action on
Saturday, October 5, when they travel to Dobbs Ferry, New York to
face Mercy. The kickoff with the Mavericks is slated for 3:00
PM.
