SCHENECTADY, NY – The Union College men's soccer team ran their winning streak to seven games, earning a 3-0 win over The Sage Colleges behind goals from senior forwards Craig Santangelo, Marc Zeyak, and Tim Pryor.
The Dutchmen (7-0), ranked No. 18 in the country in the latest NSCAA Division III poll, took control in the second half, outshooting the Gators 7-0 en route to a 17-3 shot advantage for the contest.
Santangelo opened the scoring on a volley off a cross from sophomore forward Nick Vozzella at 32:06 of the first half for what proved to be the game-winning goal. Vozzella cut to open space in the right corner and found Santangelo who fired the ball off of Sage goalkeeper Trevor Paddy (three saves) and into the net.
Union increased its lead to 2-0 early in the second half when Zeyak followed an initial shot from junior midfielder Chris Choquette that deflected off the post and found an open net at 47:09 for his team-leading seventh goal of the year.
The Dutchmen added another score late when Santangelo found Pryor with a nice through ball, springing the senior forward on a partial breakaway. Pryor chipped a shot past Paddy to give Union a 3-0 advantage at 83:40.
Senior goalkeeper Adam Margulies stopped two Sage shots from Jose Miranda and Evan Southworth in the first half to earn his fifth win of the season.
