SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – The No. 22 Skidmore College men's soccer team struck early with three first-half goals, leading to a 3-0 victory over MCLA in non-league action at Wachenheim Field Tuesday afternoon.

Skidmore, recently entering the United Soccer Coaches national rankings at No. 22, remains unbeaten at 4-0-1 on the season. MCLA falls to 2-5.

Skidmore got on the board quickly, as senior midfielder Brennan Mitrolka found sophomore forward David Braman for a header off a corner kick in the sixth minute. Braman's chance reached over the goalkeepers hands as the sophomore tallied his first career goal.
The Thoroughbreds struck again with header in the 18th minute. Freshman defender Josh Ridenhour's long throw-in found sophomore midfielder Ted Roach deep in the penalty box, his chance beating the keeper wide to his left.

Skidmore tallied their final goal on a long through pass from senior midfielder Kevin Santos, just over the midfield line. His pass found sophomore forward Inigo Ugarte, who chipped the ball over the diving keeper.

The Skidmore goalies, sophomore Sebastian Bosch and junior Pearse Martin, combined to earn the team's third shutout of the season. Bosch picked up the victory, needing just one save in the first half. Their counterpart, Kamron Anderson, made nine saves in the loss.
