STATEN ISLAND, NY --- In a rematch of last year’s City University of New York Athletic Conference (CUNYAC) Championship, the York College men’s soccer team earned a 2-0 victory over Staten Island to close out the regular season on Saturday. With the win, York (9-7, 6-2 CUNYAC) remains in contention for the CUNYAC regular season title.
The Cardinals, with 18 points in the CUNYAC standings, hold a two point lead over Hunter College and a three point lead over Baruch for first place. A loss or a tie by both teams in their final matches on Wednesday would give the Cardinals their second straight regular season title.

The first of his goals came unassisted in the 25th minute and the second was off an assist from Michel Nicolas (Port-au-Prince, Haiti/ Newtown) in the 40th minute.
York keeper, Pierreson Pierre-Louis (Port-au-Prince, Haiti/ Van Buren) stopped four shots to earn the shutout.
