Lakers Earn Shutout and Third Straight Victory at Home

CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. - The Finger Lakes Community College men's soccer team hosted the Bryant & Stratton – Buffalo Bobcats on the FLCC multi-use turf Tuesday evening in a non-region match. The Lakers, who are on a two-game win streak, aimed to extend their winning streak and improve their home record to 4-2. 

The Lakers would start out on the right foot, scoring early off the foot of Joao Antonio Rocha (Sergipe, Brazil/ Colegio Master) who scored on a perfectly placed pass from teammate Vojtech Bartosek (Prague, Czech Republic/ Anglicko-Ceske Gymnazium Amazon). The Lakers would strike shortly after on a costly Bobcat penalty in the box that led to a penalty kick opportunity for the Lakers. Freshman Marius Dalidet (Oullins, France/ Saint-Thomas D'Aquin-Vertias) would take the shot and convert to give the Lakers an early 2-0 lead. Freshman Joao Antonio Rocha converted on a pinpoint pass from teammate Daniel Medina (Mexico City, Mexico/ Tec Monterrey Santa Fe) to extend the lead to 3-0. The Lakers would go on to carry their advantage and momentum into the break. 

Going into the second half, the Bobcats put the pressure on, but the Lakers' defense would hold strong to keep a clean sheet and earn their third-straight victory. With the win, the Lakers move to 4-6 this season and aim to keep their streak going for their next match this coming Saturday, October 7th in a NJCAA Region III and MSAC conference matchup with the Tompkins Cortland Community College Panthers at 12 PM at the TC Turf Field.
