The Brock men's soccer team extended its win streak to five matches and three consecutive clean sheets on Sunday, Oct. 1.
The Badgers are now first in the Ontario University Athletics (OUA) West Division.
Michael Solomon scored twice and the Badgers shut down the Algoma Thunderbirds 4-0 at Brock Alumni Field.
Ethan Miskolczi and
Connor Carroll each netted their first goals of the campaign. Goalkeeper
Taylor Miskolczi made two saves for his third clean sheet of the season.
Luca Danesi picked up two assists.
Solomon opened the scoring for the Badgers at the 29th-minute mark as Carroll extended Brock's lead in the 41st minute, capitalizing on a Danesi assist.
As the second half got underway, Brock showed no signs of slowing down. Solomon notched his second goal of the match, courtesy of a
Sebastian Petrilli pass, making it 3-0 in favor of Brock.
Miskolczi joined the scoring party in the 78th minute, with Danesi providing another crucial assist. The Badgers displayed a strong offensive presence throughout the match, tallying 14 shots.
While Brock was firmly in control on the scoreboard, the match also saw its fair share of yellow cards. Luke Harrop and Peter Alexandrakis from Algoma, and
Jake Kelly from Brock, received cautions. Harrop received a second yellow card, leading to a red card and his ejection from the match.
Algoma struggled to break through Brock's defence and managed only six shots throughout the game.
The match marked the end of OUA Anti-Racism Awareness Week. The Badgers wore 'We Are One' T-shirts and stood with the Thunderbirds during a special pre-game ceremony.
