Men's Soccer cruises past U Mass Boston 4-1

Four different players score for the Red Dragons

The SUNY Oneonta men's soccer team controlled today's game versus U Mass Boston completing the 2018 Mayor's Cup Tournament on Red Dragon Field.  The Red Dragons were all over the Beacons defeating them easily 4-1.
 
Four different players registered goals for Oneonta (2-1-1) in the match including the first collegiate goals for both junior Douglas Minogue (Miller Place/Miller Place) and freshman Arkadij Raiz (Oceanside/Oceanside).  Senior Nicholas Plate (Miller Place/Sachem North) collected a pair of assists while sophomore Roberto Ventura (Brentwood/Brentwood) scored a goal and added an assist.
 
Junior Witman Hernandez (Huntington/Walt Whitman) notched his first of the season and earned the Jim Lennox Offensive Most Valuable Player award for the tournament, which was won by St. Lawrence University.
 
Minogue got Oneonta on the scoreboard in the ninth minute when he redirected a pass from Plate on a restart.  Plate served a perfect ball into the box where Minogue ran behind the defense and got his foot on the pass to redirect it behind the U Mass (1-4) keeper.
 
Plate assisted on the next goal for the Red Dragons in the 34th minute.  Plate fired a shot that deflected off the keeper to a waiting Ventura who finished the play off with a header to the back of the goal.
 
Oneonta took its two-goal lead into halftime along with a 9-4 shot advantage.
 
In the 60th minute, the Beacons got on the scoreboard to cut the lead in half.  Jonathan Rodrigues broke with the ball into the box before sending a pass along the ground to John Santos who finished it off with a low shot by Francesco Scotti (Commack/Commack).
 
The Red Dragons iced the game with a pair of goals in the 82nd and 84th minutes.  Ventura made a tremendous long pass into the box where Hernandez raced to it and put a shot to the back of the goal.  Raiz capped the scoring with an unassisted goal from 25 yards out beating the keeper to the upper left corner.
 
Scotti recorded his first win for Oneonta in his first start making two saves.
 
Oneonta will travel to Rensselaer on Wednesday for its first road game of the season.
