NEW YORK — The St. Joseph's College (Brooklyn) men's soccer team fell to Manhattanville College (2-4-0, 1-0-0) on Saturday morning, 4-0, from Randall's Island. The Bears fall to 2-3-1 overall, 0-1-1 in Skyline Conference play.
How it Happened
The Bears and Valiants shared scoring opportunities in the early going with Jesus Cano (Brooklyn, N.Y./Cristo Rey Brooklyn) coming close to giving the Bears the edge in the 12th minute. However, a minute later, Manhattanville got on the board first when a cross found Eli Pardo who flicked it in the goal. The score remained 1-0 going into the intermission.
Three minutes into the second half, Pardo went 1v1 with a defender and gave the visitors their second goal of the game. The Manhattanville junior would complete his hat trick in the 61st minute with a tap-in inside the eight-yard box. George Simpson found the upper right corner of the goal with two minutes left to cap off a 4-0 victory in their conference opener.
