NEW YORK — The Pratt Institute men's soccer team dropped a 9-0 result to Neumann University on Saturday night at Randall's Island Park in an Atlantic East Conference match.
Neumann (7-2-3, 3-0-0) seized momentum with a first-half flurry, scoring three times between the 14th and 15th minutes. Jordan Illian capped the surge with goals at 13:53 and 14:47 and went on to finish with four goals and two assists. Luke Mejia added two goals and an assist, while AJ Henry made two saves to post the clean sheet.
Pratt (0-10-1, 0-3-0) created its best looks on frame through Dylan Costa (Cresskill, N.J.) in the 29th minute and Omri Hadad (Ramat Gan, Israel) in the 86th, both saved by Henry.
Goalkeeper Dimitris Papagiannakopoulos (Athens, Greece) started and made three early saves before giving way to fifth-year Anil Pugh (Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago) in the 15th minute. Pugh stopped five shots the rest of the way, including four in the second half.
The Cannoneers return to the pitch with a trip to Immaculata University on Saturday, October 18 starting at 1 p.m.
