WINCHESTER, Va. – The men’s soccer team spotted visiting Shepherd the opening goal Monday afternoon, but roared back behind four straight goals from senior Will Scott (Chesapeake, Va./Great Bridge) to take the 4-1 non-conference victory.

Shenandoah (8-6-2) found itself down a goal early in the contest as Chris Daniloski headed home a cross from Ray Williams in the seventh minute. This would be the last shot Shepherd (8-6) would take until the middle of the second half.

After peppering the Rams goal with a number of excellent scoring opportunities, SU tied the contest with just under five minutes to play in the first half as Scott scored on a header of his own. Sophomore James Jackson (Chesapeake, Va./Old Dominion) provided the assist on the tally.

After the two teams battled back and forth for the first 25 minutes of the second, Shenandoah seized control with three goals in the final 20 minutes of play. Luis Collantes (Alexandria, Va./TC Williams) fed Scott for goals No. 2 and 3 before Akmed Mansaray (Alexandria, Va./TC Williams) allowed Scott to cap off his excellent afternoon by serving a perfect ball into the box for goal No. 4.

Scott is now four goals away from tying the career goals mark held by Gino Aniceto ’96 and 10 points from Aniceto’s career scoring record of 94 points. SU has a minimum of three games left this season: at Averett on Sunday, against Catholic next Monday and then in the first round of the Dixie Conference Tournament on November 8.
