Aidan Gray '19 scored the first three goals of his rookie campaign to help the men’s soccer team stretch its unbeaten streak to five games, with a 3-2 win over Marywood University on September 30th and a 4-2 victory against Empire 8 Conference foe Utica College on October 3rd.
On the road against the Pacers, Gray scored the first goal of his career in the 71st minute to knot the game at 2-2, setting up the Soaring Eagles to complete a miraculous comeback after trailing 2-0 at halftime. The freshman from Forestville, Australia, then scored twice to help EC earn its first road over Utica since 2009. He broke a 1-1 tie in the 56th minute with his first tally, and then recorded his first multi-goal performance with a score in the 85th minute.
On the season, Gray – one of three EC players to start all 10 games this season – is tied for second on the team with three goals and tied for third with six points.
Gray and the EC men’s soccer team will look to continue their unbeaten streak this Saturday, October 3rd, as the Soaring Eagles travel to face Nazareth College in a 3:00 p.m. Empire 8 contest.
