Men's Soccer Fall at Home to MIT

WORCESTER, Mass. – The Clark University men's soccer team (3-5-5, 1-2-2 NEWMAC) hosted MIT (5-4-4, 2-1-2 NEWMAC) in a late-season battle. Following a scoreless opening half, the Engineers would find the back of the net three times in the second half to secure the 3-0 win. 

How it Happened 

  • The Engineers came out firing, forcing two saves from senior Jaime Pedraza in the 2nd and 3rd minutes of the game. 
  • Following another save from Pedraza in the ninth minute, first-year Julian Dubash would have the first chance of the game for the Cougars, with a shot on goal in the 12th minute. 
  • Pedraza would add a save in the 15th minute, with senior Marc Kim firing a shot that was blocked in the 21st minute. 
  • Pedraza would add another save in the 31st minute, with senior Carter Benoff nearly scoring off a free kick but missing by inches and striking the post. 
  • First-year Roland Soeiro would fire a shot on goal in the final ten seconds of the half, but it would be saved at the horn to keep the game scoreless at the half. 
  • Soeiro would put another shot on goal to start the second half, with Benoff adding one of his own in the 58th minute. 
  • It would be MIT who struck first though, with Eric Lohse finding Jonah Gurion for an unsavable curling shot that reached the back of the net for the game's first goal. 
  • Kim would put a shot on goal in the 63rd minute, but it would be the Engineers who would add to their lead, with Woods Windham putting a ball across the face of the goal to Gianluca Balestrieri for the tap-in finish. 
  • First-year Owen Bergin put a shot on goal in the 78th minute, but MIT would net the next goal with Charles Lai & Shikhar Motupally assisting Lohse for a goal in the 85th minute, securing the 3-0 win for MIT.
