EMMITSBURG, Md. - The Manhattan men's soccer team won its second straight league match with a 2-0 victory over Mount St. Mary's this afternoon.
"We have had an intense 7 days where our goal was to get 6 points on the MAAC and we have achieved that," said head coach Jorden Scott. "Credit goes to the squad for how they have committed and dedicated themselves to being ready for when their time comes to give everything for the team. Now we have some time to recover and get focused on Marist."
Henry Hamilton put the Jaspers on the board first with a penalty kick goal in the 20th minute for the 1-0 edge.
The Jaspers continued to apply the pressure, as Tony Yeboah found Sebastiano Musu who beat the keeper finding the lower half of the net for a goal in the 31st minute to extend Manhattan's lead to 2-0 going into halftime.
Mount St. Mary's added a goal in the 78th minute scoring on a penalty shot of their own to make it a 2-1 match in favor of the Jaspers.
Goalkeeper Danny DiMarco started the game in the net recording three saves in the first half to finish with four for the match.
Manhattan (2-4-2, 2-0 MAAC) will return to the pitch on September 30 at Marist for a 7 p.m. kickoff.
