The Lakeland men's soccer team traveled to Ancilla College today looking to avenge a tough loss on Friday. Lakeland got off to a great start taking a 4-0 lead at the half. The first goal was scored when Omar Alumtairi struck a free kick into the goal area where Shakeel Browne headed it by the Chargers netminder. Omani Leacock, Eric Schatzle, and Amir Serikbaev would also add goals to put the Lakers in a commanding position. Before the half would end though, Browne would get a red card and the Lakers would play short handed for the remainder of the match.

Unfortunately for the Lakers, they were unable to hold the Chargers off while a man down. The key for Ancilla was Isaac Filippo. The Charger scored five of the six unanswered goals in the second half which gave Ancilla College the win. 

Ketani's Comments: "This was an embarrassing loss. Losing Shak was unfortunate, but we need to be better at closing out games. We will get back at it and bounce back."

Next up: The Lakers will play host to Oberlin College on Wednesday (9/29) at 3:30 pm at Laker Field.
