WATERBURY, CONN. — Men's soccer traveled up to Post University to square off in a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) battle with heavy post-season implications on Wednesday afternoon and delivered a 2-0 victory at LaMoy Field.
Jovan Stanojkovic (Pancevo, Serbia) returned in goal and picked up his 4
th shutout of the year as the visitors improved to 8-2-1 in CACC play and 11-3-1 overall. The Eagles fell to 6-6 in league action and 7-8 overall with the setback.
The CACC Rookie of the Week,
Regsan Watkins (Cape Town, South Africa) powered the Bears offense, delivering a shot from twenty-five yards out off a pass from Nicolas Calabia (Palisade Park, NJ) in the 6
th minute of the game. Post scrambled to find an equalizer the rest of the half but the visitor's defense was up to the task and kept the 1-0 advantage as the teams headed into the halftime break.
In the second period, Bloomfield's leading scorer put the game out of reach at the 74:23 minute mark with a penalty kick past the Eagles' keeper. Post outshot the Bears, 10-8 for the match but the home team suffered a 5-4 deficit in shots-on-goal.
Next up, Bloomfield heads to Caldwell University for a Friday showdown with the Cougars with a 3:00 pm scheduled start. The win for the Bears cemented the first home playoff game for Bloomfield since 2012. A victory in Friday's regular-season finale will setup a rematch of Wednesday's battle with the Eagles but on the Bears home turf of Foley Field in the CACC Championships Quarterfinal Round.
