Strong Second Half Propels Centurions Past Cougars

NEWTOWN, Pa.- The Men's Soccer team hosted the Cougars of Lehigh Carbon Community College on Tuesday. In a first half of seemingly equal play Bucks struggled to find the goal on 11 of their 12 shots. At the nine minute mark Diego Valdez scored off a Seth Dubinski assist to give the Centurions the one goal advantage. Bucks would take that lead into the half.

In the second half it was Lehigh Carbon who got the scoring going with an equalizer that seemed to be taken almost near midfield. Fifteen minutes into the second however it would be all Bucks from there on out. Everyone got chances and many took advantage as Tyler Andre would score his first of the season assisted by Derek Czerniak to give the Centurions a 2-1 lead. Three minutes later Howard Haas got in on the action firing a goal in off of a Daniel Merritt assist. Haas would return the favor and assist a goal of Merritt's at the 68 minute mark. Cole Digney added another unassisted and Serge Ouattara capped off the scoring with a Curtis Fuller assist to make the final 6-1 Bucks. This is the first time this season Bucks has had six different goal scorers as well as six different assists. 

Lehigh Carbon falls to 1-3 overall and 1-1 in the conference. 

The Centurions improve to 3-1 overall and 2-0 in the conference. 

Bucks will return to action Thursday, September 8th as they travel to Delaware County Community College to take on the 2-0 Phantoms, kickoff set for 3:30 pm.
