Men’s Soccer Bested by Rider

Four different Rider players scored goals, as the visiting Broncs defeated Canisius 4-1 in Metro Conference men's soccer action Saturday afternoon at the Demske Sports Complex in Buffalo, N.Y.
 
Ryan Vaubel accounted for the lone tally in the first half, as Jacobo Cruz, Michael Holliday, and Gavin Faracchio accounted for the Broncs' other three goals in the contest's second half. Marius Helias started in net for Rider (5-2-1, 1-1 Metro) and made one save.
 
Senior Gael Arceo scored the Golden Griffins' lone goal in the game's 74th minutes on a corner kick. Graduate goalkeeper Preston Harold made the start in net for Canisius (1-7 0-2 Metro) and posted seven stops.
 
The Broncs' attack struck early, just nine minutes into the contest, as Axel Lucas played a through-ball to the foot of Drew Heil, who then found Vaubel at the back post, where he slotted the ball into the net to give Rider the 1-0 lead.
 
Rider would take its 1-0 lead into halftime before scoring just nine minutes into the second half. Carter Schmitz ripped a shot off the crossbar before the ball fell to an unmarked Holliday, who headed it into the open net to extend the Broncs' lead to 2-0.
 
The Broncs would add their third goal of the afternoon in the 69th minute, as Harold came out to challenge the Rider attack, but the ball fell to the foot of Cruz, who slotted it into the open net to make the score 3-0 in favor of the visiting team.
 
Canisius would find the back of the net in the 74th minute as Arceo curled a corner kick directly into the top-left corner to trim Rider's cushion to two at 3-1.
 
Rider closed out the contest's scoring in the 84th minute when Faracchio used the outside of his foot to find the top-left corner of the frame, sealing the Broncs' 4-1 victory.
