CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. - The Wilson College men's soccer team hosted the Defenders of Clarks Summit University this afternoon in a Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) match. During halftime of today's match, the men's soccer seniors were honored as they got set to play their final match at home. Despite a hard-fought effort, the Phoenix (4-13-0, 2-4-0 CSAC) were defeated by the Defenders (5-10-1, 3-3-0 CSAC) by a final score of 2-0.

How It Happened: The Phoenix got things started with a shot by senior Dan Perry (London, England, Okanagan Secondary) that sailed wide left of the goal. Clarks Summit would follow that up with a shot of their own that would sneak past the Wilson keeper as the Defenders were able to take an early 1-0 lead in the twelfth minute of play. Wilson kept firing as sophomore Victor Celleri and freshman Garrick Hill (Chambersburg, PA., Chambersburg) both launched shots on goal that were both saved. The Phoenix would enter the half still trailing, 1-0. In the second half, both teams battled for possession as Wilson continued fighting for the equalizing goal. Later on in the half, Clarks Summit was able to score again as they pushed the score to 2-0. The Phoenix would go on to be defeated by a final score of 2-0.

Inside the Box Score: Wilson was outshot 14-7 and 6-5 coming from shots on goal. Hill and fellow freshman Christopher Sosa (Mechanicsburg, PA., Mechanicsburg) led the team with shots on goal as they both finished with two apiece. Perry, Celleri, and freshman Aaron Harrison (Archbald, PA., Valley View) each finished with one shot. 

Up Next: The men's soccer team will close out regular season play with a CSAC match against the Highlanders of Cairn University on Tuesday, October 29, starting at 3:00 p.m.
