WESTMINSTER, Md. – The No. 25 Franklin & Marshall men's soccer team (7-1-2, 2-0-2 CC) scored three unanswered goals in the second half to overcome McDaniel (3-3-4, 1-3 CC), 3-1, in Saturday afternoon's Centennial Conference (CC) matchup.
Trailing 1-0 in the 53rd minute,
Owen Sobel drew a foul in offensive territory to set up a free kick just outside the box.
Nathan Schlessinger took the kick and put it into the bottom-right corner of the net for his first goal of the season – tying the game.
In the 71st minute, F&M pushed the offense deep into McDaniel's side of the field.
Wes Wise found
Oscar Horwitz, who tucked his shot inside the right post to give the Diplomats the lead. The score was his conference-leading 10th goal of the season and fifth game-winning goal this fall. Wise was credited with his second assist of the season on the play.
The Diplomats added insurance in the 89th minute after
Koa Kaliebe fired a shot that was saved by the McDaniel goalkeeper. The rebound kicked back to Kaliebe who sent his following shot into the open cage for his sixth goal of the season.
It is the fifth F&M win this season that included a goal from both Horwitz and Kaliebe.
Kaliebe, Schlessinger, and Sobel all tallied two shots on goal in the win. As a team, F&M totaled 13 shots with eight attempts on target in the contest.
