Box Score

WATERBURY, Conn. (September 14, 2011) - Bloomfield's men's soccer team fell to 0-4 on the season and 0-1 in CACC play Wednesday evening, as they dropped a 3-1 road decision to Post University in the opening match of their 2011 conference schedule. 

A pair of goals by Eltany Morais in the early stages of the match stunned the visiting Deacons, putting Post on top 2-0 in the 15th minute of play.  Bloomfield would settle in defensively after the early barrage, yielding just four more shots over the final 30 minutes of the half.  Senior midfielder Juan Ramirez (Medellin, Columbia) brought the Deacons to within a goal with his third score of the season in the 43rd minute, finishing a pass from Momar Diop (Union City, NJ) to cut the deficit to 2-1.

The tally from Ramirez would prove to be Bloomfield's only strike, though, despite an offensive attack that produced eight shots on goal and three corner kick opportunities.  The Eagles were able to hold off the onslaught for the final 45 minutes of play, never yielding the equalizer the Deacons desperately sought.  A goal by Eno Francis in the 81st minute put the game out of reach for Bloomfield, leaving the visitors still in search of their first victory of 2011.

Claude Allen (Kingston, Jamaica), Terry Gibbs (London, England) and Ramirez each notched two shots on goal in the setback, while Cody Sherman (Denville, NJ) made three saves in net for the Deacons.

"We played better at points tonight, but we allowed two quick goals that proved to decide the game," Deacons head coach Peter-John Falloon said.  "We have to play a complete 90 minutes if we are going to be successful.  We are getting closer to where we want to be, and we have another crucial conference game coming up this Saturday, so we need to be prepared."

Bloomfield returns to action Saturday, September 17 with a road match against CACC foe Chestnut Hill College.  Kickoff is set for 6:00 PM.
