Leavenworth, Kan. The Central Methodist University men's soccer kept rolling on Saturday, when they visited the University of Saint Mary in Leavenworth, Kansas. CMU won their final non-conference match of the season by a final of 4-2.
�
With the victory, Central Methodist improves to 7-1-2 on the season, while Saint Mary falls to 3-5 on the year.
�
Saturday's non-conference showdown was a close one in the first half. CMU got on the board first in the 21^st minute on a goal from Guilherme Gallucci, to take a 1-0 lead.
�
That lead would hold into halftime, before the barrage of goals in the second half.
�
Central Methodist did not waste any time in the second half, as Daniel Tesoro scored in the 47^th minute to give the Eagles a 2-0 lead.
�
CMU would then add two more goals in the 54^th and 67^th minute by Andres Manuel-Chalbaud and Jarrid Hamilton. Manuel-Chalbaud finished the contest with a team high seven shots, three of which were on goal.
�
But like their match earlier in the week against Missouri Valley, CMU would surrender a pair of late goals to make the match look closer than it was.
�
With a 4-0 lead, the Eagles gave up to goals to Rodney Smith and Branden Sanchez in the 70^th and 78^th minutes respectively to quickly make it a 4-2 ballgame. CMU would not allow another goal and went on to win by that margin.
�
The Eagles outshot the Spires 34-7 and also dominated with 11 corner kicks; to zero for Saint Mary.
�
The Eagles return to conference play on Tuesday, when they travel to face Evangel University at 7:30pm. CMU will be playing their second match of a four match roadtrip.
