Thoroughbreds blank Bard for lopsided 5-0 victory on senior day

SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY – The Skidmore College men's soccer team took care of business on Senior Day with a wire-to-wire 5-0 shutout victory over Bard at Wachenheim Field on Saturday afternoon.

Now in sole possession of second seed following a Vassar-Hobart tie, the Thoroughbreds (8-2-3, 4-1-1 Liberty League) quickly took command of the match after junior Colin Goodhines completed a first-half brace within the opening 18 minutes. Not taking the foot off the pedal, Skidmore eventually ballooned the lead in the second half to overwhelm the Raptors (8-5-2, 0-4-2 Liberty League) for the decisive conference victory.

Prior to the match, Skidmore honored the eight members of the 2025 senior class with senior day celebrations: Will Devall, Carter Capodanno, Dillon Nelson, Cole Rogan, Josh Hocheiser, Rumi Schemmerer, Tobias Catizone and Connor Mansfield.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • In the eighth minute, Goodhines received a brilliant set up from freshman Quinn McInerney on a pass that sailed over the Bard backlines before finishing the play with a sharp strike past the Raptors keeper.
  • Goodhines doubled the lead in the 18th minute, completing his first half brace after freshman Simon Failla delivered a pinpoint through ball around the defense to set up a simple chip-shot finish past the goalie.
  • In the 29th minute, Skidmore capitalized on a corner kick delivered by senior Cole Rogan, as freshman Ethan Benjamin headed the kick to fellow-first year Jacob Humienny directly in front of the net for the tap-in score.
  • In the 75th minute, the Thoroughbreds executed a brilliant transition sequence as freshman Nick Miller first connected with sophomore Kyle Girouard, who followed with a quick touch pass to junior Edo Ferrari for the uncontested finish.
  • Two minutes later, Skidmore struck again after an initial Miller shot rattled off the crossbar before being retrieved by sophomore Jed Dougherty, who made the pass back to the freshman through a crowd of Bard defenders for the goal.
STANDOUT THOROUGHBREDS
  • Devall tallied five saves for his fifth win on the season and combined with sophomore Rowan McLear, who made one save in relief, for Skidmore's fifth shutout in the past six games.
  • Goodhines is now tied for the team lead with five goals on the season, and 15 in his career.
  • Humienny's goal is the second of his career.
  • Miller recorded his second career goal and first career assist.
  • Ferrari scored the first goal of his career.
  • McInerney, Benjamin and Dougherty's assists marks the first of their respective careers.
  • Girouard recorded his third assist as a Thoroughbred.
  • Failla's assist is his second this season.
  • Rogan's assist gives him two on the season and six in his career.
