Men's Soccer Advances to ODAC Semifinals After Win Against EMU

WINCHESTER, Va. - The No. 4 Shenandoah University men's soccer team defeated No. 5 Eastern Mennonite University, 4-0, in the quarterfinals of the 2023 ODAC Men's Soccer Tournament on Saturday night at home.

The Hornets (9-4-4) scored four second-half goals to power their way past the Royals (7-7-4) for the program's first-ever tournament win and advance to the semifinals.

IN BRIEF

The two teams played a tightly-contested opening 45 minutes with each team getting chances. SU got the chances early on as Connor Robles weaved his way through the EMU defense looking for ways to score.

Robles had the first shot on goal for either team just over three minutes into the game. Later on, Tarick Kamara shot a ball past the EMU goalie but was deflected away by the Royals defense for the team save. Kamara's shot was the closest either team got to scoring in the first.

The Hornets came out hot in the second as just over a minute in Nathan Yared found the back of the net for the game's opening goal. Kyle Welch fed a pass right to Yared for the assist.

Six minutes later it was Niclas Vavra adding to SU's lead. Vavra received a cross from Devin Kohout and headed it into the top of the net to make it 2-0.

Robles got his name into the score column just 64 seconds later as the Hornets continued to put pressure on the Royals.

In the 77th minute, Shenandoah scored its final goal as Welch picked up another assist, this time assisting Xaiver Thompson on his second goal of the season.

Travis Jett earned the shutout in the win as he made four saves.

This was Shenandoah's final home game of the season as they ended with a 7-1-1 mark at Shentel Stadium.
