Men's Soccer Defeats Northampton 2-1

The Montgomery County Community College Mustangs men’s soccer team advanced their record to 4-1 on Tuesday with a 2-1 victory over the Northampton Community College Spartans. 

The Mustangs jumped out to an early 2-0 lead with goals by freshmen William Rive and David Griffith, both assisted by sophomore forward Brandon Essrig. The Mustangs remained two goals up until seconds before half time, when Spartans’ forward Julio Isidoro slipped one past Mustangs’ sophomore goal keeper Bryan Hare.

 Outshooting the Mustangs 26-9, the Spartans posted a strong showing during the second half but were unable to find the back of the net again before the final buzzer. The Mustangs’ second half freshman goal keeper Nick Hulayew held off the offensive surge with the help of sophomore defenseman Joe Ciaverelli. 

“Our goal keepers Bryan Hare and Nick Hulayewhave been outstanding all season,” Coach Andy Kelly said. “We are beginning to be better organized defensively as a team. This will allow us to be in every game.
