MEADVILLE, Pa. – The No. 9 Kenyon College men's soccer team won for the tenth straight match on Saturday as they claimed a 3-0 road victory at Allegheny College. With the win, Kenyon improved to 14-2-2 and 9-0-0 in the North Coast Athletic Conference. Since 1984 when Kenyon joined the NCAC, it is just the sixth undefeated conference season in program history and first time since 1997 that they won every match.
The Lords got in gear quickly on Saturday as seniors
Woo Jeon and
Henry Myers connected for the team's first goal.
At 2:35, a feed from Myers made its way to the top of the box and Jeon did the rest beating the Gators goalie for his fourth goal of the season.
Allegheny came back nearly a minute later with two shots from Tolossa Hassan and Jon Sion, but
Ian McInturf saved the first and the latter attempt from Sion went wide.
The Gators added four more attempts the rest of the half but two went blocked and the others were high and wide. On the other side, Lords freshman
Gabe Ivins tallied the only other on-goal attempt of the half at 41:11 but Nick Ferreira saved his header.
Leading 1-0 at the start of half two, the Lords jumped up two with another early goal. At 48:02,
Brice Koval found Myers around the top of the box and he finished for his NCAC-leading 13th goal of the season.
Myers later came up was a defensive save after a shot from Izaak Miller at the 65th minute. That was Allegheny's last chance at a goal as it turned out.
Kenyon added one more goal in the match as freshman
Jack Cohen struck from about 25 yards with less than four minutes to go.
Next on the schedule for the Lords is an NCAC tourney semifinal home match on November 1 at 2 p.m. Stay tuned for more information and opponent.
