@yorkcardinals Men’s Soccer blanks Medgar Evers to stay unbeaten in CUNYAC play

York College hosts Baruch College in a key CUNYAC showdown on Wednesday (Oct. 8), kicking off a stretch that features three of the final five conference matches at home

NEW YORK--- (www.YORKATHLETICS.com) York College men's soccer broke the scoring ice in the 57th minute and the defense stood tall to secure a 1-0 road triumph Saturday afternoon over the Medgar Evers College Cougars (1-7-1, 0-2-0 CUNYAC) at Randall's Island Field 74, remaining unbeaten at 1-0-1 in CUNYAC play. It marks the program's best start to conference action since 2014, when York opened with back-to-back wins.

First-Half Breakdown
The Cardinals had the better chances early on, testing Cougar goalkeeper Clirian Nunez (0-6-1) twice in the first 21 minutes. Megdar Evers responded by forcing York netminder Alexander Cruz (1-0-1) into three saves in the following five minutes of play. The frame ended scoreless, with each team totaling eight shots and four shots on goal.

Second-Half Breakdown 
Derick Aboagye-Frimpong netted the opening goal at the 56:31, which marks his fifth goal of the season and second game-winning strike. Defensively sound, the Cardinals did not allow a shot until the 81st minute, with Cruz parrying Belco Gundeba's effort wide. During that time, York recorded eight shots attempting to add onto the 1-0 edge. The Cardinal defense shined in the final nine minutes

Inside the Box Score
Controlling the attack, the Cardinals had the advantage in shots (23-12) and shots on goal (8-5). Medgar Evers posted a 5-3 edge in corner kicks. Cruz (1-0-1) maintained his fine form, producing five saves on his way to a first-career clean sheet. Nunez (0-6-1) stopped seven shots in the Cougar net. 

Up Next 
The Cardinals (2-3-3, 1-0-1 CUNYAC) look to continue their CUNYAC unbeaten streak Wednesday (Oct. 8) with an encounter against the Baruch College Bearcats (1-3-3, 0-0-1 CUNYAC) starting at 3 p.m. from York College Outdoor Athletic Complex.
