MADISON, WISC. - A ten-minute stretch of pure domination in the second half Wednesday at
Irwin A. & Robert D. Goodman Pitch-East sent the Madison College men's soccer team on their way to an 8-0 rout of visiting Bryant & Stratton College and their first 4-0 start since 2017. Three players netted two goals in the match, and a pair of goalkeepers combined for the team's third shutout performance. The match was just the second all-time meeting against the Bobcats, leaving the series at 1-0-1 for the Pack.
Freshman forward
Gabe Voung, who earlier in the day was named the
NJCAA Men's Soccer Division III Player of the Week, put the WolfPack on top early with a 5' goal off an assist from
Dominick Ramirez. The goal was the team-leading fifth of the season scored by the Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, native. Six minutes later it became a two-goal lead as midfielder
Caeben Schomber started his impressive effort with an assist to first year midfield/forward
Richie Lima.
Still a 2-0 differential more than 15 minutes into the second half, the WolfPack took full control with an all-out assault on the Bryant & Stratton College (0-3) goal. It started with Schomber's first goal of the season and another assist by Ramirez in the 61' minute. Three more goals would follow over the next ten minutes. After
Adair Tlato converted a
Evan Thom pass, Schomber made it his second career multi-goal game with a scoring strike assisted by
Angel Gongora. Sophomore
Adriano Ponte completed the run with first career goal as
Jacob Howard set him up. Tlato and Lima each made it two-goal nights before the match was over, with Tlato getting a helper from
Sam Johnson in the 83' and Lima going unassisted in the 86'.
Overall, Madison College racked up a massive 26-3 advantage in total shots and an 18-3 lead in shots on goal. Schomber, a former Wisconsin Heights HS athlete, finished with a team-high five points. Thom, a second year midfielder
from Madison, Wisconsin, posted a team-leading six shots and five on goal.
Goalkeeper
Phil McCloskey made two saves over his 89-plus minutes before giving way to freshman
Vimas Worjloh for the final 44 second of the shutout. McCloskey, a native of DeForest, Wisconsin, boasts a .929 save percentage and a 0.75 goals against average.
