SELINSGROVE, PA - Susquehanna men's soccer earned a vital Landmark Conference win on Tuesday behind early goals from
Jack McCarthy and
Angelo Zografos, which led them to a 2-0 win over Juniata.
HOW IT HAPPENED
- An early chance came the way of Susquehanna through Aidan Diglio's throw towards Henry McElroy, who headed the first shot of the game into the side netting.
- McCarthy opened the scoring following a cross from the right by Louis Ciampi that went all the way through to Zografos, whose pass back across goal was steered in by the head of McCarthy as Susquehanna took a 6th-minute lead.
- The River Hawks doubled their tally in the 17th minute through Zografos, who finished into the roof of the net on the half-volley following another throw by Diglio that came off a Juniata defender before Zografos got the second.
- Finn Kramer turned a Juniata free-kick over the crossbar in the 51st minute, before making another save from the resulting corner.
- Owen Smith sent a volley goalward in the 56th minute, but it was blocked and turned behind for a corner.
- Chances for the Eagles came and went, with the River Hawks' defense of Ciampi, Diglio, Owen Kaar, and John Kuderka, ahead of Kramer in goal, holding them out until the final whistle.

- The visiting Eagles led Susquehanna with 17 shots to seven, but the River Hawks managed to score with both of their shots on target, while Kramer kept out all six of the Eagles' shots on goal. McElroy managed a pair of shots to lead the team on the evening.
