10/16/2020 12:30:00 PM

The Misericordia University men's soccer team remained unbeaten in the MAC Freedom with a 3-1 win over Wilkes at Mangelsdorf Field, one year ago today.

Eric Goldberg, Cody Rogers and John Caracappa all scored for the Cougars.

Misericordia had a 17-11 advantage in shots, including 6-2 on goal and had a 9-5 edge in corners.

Dominic Pizzi made one save in goal.

The Cougars had a corner in the opening minute and played the ball to Levi Roberts in the middle of the box where he rolled a shot just wide of the right post.

The Cougars threatened again in the fifth minute when Nick Szczerba carried the ball down the middle and played a ball to Jared Houser on the right flank where he played a diagonal ball toward the left post, but the Wilkes keeper came off his line to clear the ball away.

Goldberg finally got MU on the board at 43:57 when he headed a serve from Roberts off a re-start from 30 yards out inside the left post.

Rogers made it 2-0 early in the second half when he headed a corner from Caracappa inside the right post.

Wilkes cut the lead in half with a penalty kick at 69:00, but the Cougars answered with a PK from Caracappa just over two minutes later.
