SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y.—The Skidmore College men's soccer team extended its unbeaten streak to three with a 2-1 win Saturday evening at Wachenheim Field.
 
The Thoroughbreds are 2-1-1, while the Blazers drop to 0-3.
 
After a scoreless first half, Skidmore pressured Elms into several sloppy plays in the box early in the second stanza.
 
The Blazers scrambled to keep the Thoroughbreds off the board until a long throw into the box resulted in a clear hand ball. Shoyo Yanagihara calmly converted the penalty for a 1-0 lead at 55:52.
 
Skidmore's second goal got its start when Isaac Myran battled a defender for 25 yards before being taken down inside the box for a second penalty. This time Kyle Barrett placed the ball into the top of the net, just over the outstretched hands of Elms keeper Julian Brosi for a 2-0 lead at 66:42.
 
The Blazers made it interesting, getting on the board at 83:34 on a scramble off a rebound in front of the net. John Goebel came up with the ball to score his first of the season.
 
The Thoroughbreds maintained their composure for the final six minutes to preserve the win.
 
Skidmore had a 27-7 shot advantage and had 14 corners, the most corners since a 2015 game vs. MCLA. 
 
Sebastian Bosch had four saves for the Thoroughbreds, while Brosi finished with 13 saves, including 10 in the second half.
 
Skidmore hosts Plattsburgh State on Sept. 11 at 6 p.m.
