(CHAMBERSBURG, Pa.) – There was a lot worth celebrating as the Wilson men's soccer team hosted St. Elizabeth for Senior Day and Wilson Weekend on Saturday.

Marvin Miranda set up the score as he found Brandon Quishpi just 2:14 into the contest. The Phoenix looked to answer after a yellow card on the Eagles gave Wilson a free kick just outside the box, but Andrew Bailey's (So., Mount Airy, Md. / Linganore)
- St. E's kept the pressure on with the next five shots over the next 18 minutes. Gerson Navarro (So., Manassas Park, Va. / Manassas Park) was called on just once out of those five and made the save to keep Wilson in conetion. The visitors eventually broke through, however, and made it a 2-0 game in the 40th minute. The score remained there through the second half as the visitors kept the Phoenix attack at bay.
