Seahawks too much for AMCATS

PAXTON, Mass.- Six different players scored for the Salve Regina University men's soccer team in a 7-1 victory over Anna Maria College in non-conference action Saturday afternoon.

Salve Regina graduate student midfielder Jacob Guerra (Colchester, CT) got the scoring started in the 27th minute, when senior midfielder Rich Ventura (Floral Park, N.Y.) broke down the defense and found him on the left side for a wide-open score to put the Seahawks ahead 1-0.

31 minutes in, it would be Salve Regina junior back Sam Winiarski (Westfield, MA) finding the back of the net, assisted by Guerra.  

Salve Regina sophomore striker Zeke Menendez (Avon, CT) made it 3-0 just before halftime, taking the cross from Winiarski and finding the corner of the goal for his first goal of the season.

Early in the second half, the AMCATS would finally get on the board as Anna Maria junior forward Hezekiah Adeyeye (Woonsocket, RI) took a pass from freshman midfielder Rubelsi Moran (Holden, MA) and scored just 1:36 into the period.

From that point, however, the Seahawks took control. Junior midfielder John Reichert (Bordentown, N.J.), sophomore midfielder Jordan Borges (Milford, MA) and freshman midfielder Ethan David (Stratford, CT) each tallied their first goals of the season in the second half of the game, with Menendez pulling the exclamation point on the afternoon with a long strike with less than four minutes left in the game.

Anna Maria freshman goalkeeper David Flores (San Antonio, TX) finished with seven saves on the day while junior Nathan Reid (Magnolia, Del.) made one save to pick up the victory in 45 minutes of action before handing the reigns over to Zach Rock (Middleton, Mass.) who surrendered the lone goal in the second half.

Anna Maria (0-1-1) will be back on the field on Wednesday when they travel to Union College in New York for a 7:00 p.m. match while Salve Regina (1-1-0) returns home to host Johnson & Wales on Sunday, September 5, at 4 p.m.
