The principia men's soccer team managed to record their sixth shutout of the season when they downed Blackburn College 4-0 on a pleasant Saturday afternoon in Elsah, IL.
Wes Fleming's flick header in the 10
th minute past the charging keeper coupled with
Ricky Seaman's finish was enough to send the panthers' into the half with a 2-0 cushion. Andre Depaz's strike and
Alan Cheatham's opportunistic finish rounded off the scoring for the Panthers as they moved closer to securing a SLIAC playoff spot. Fleming got on the scoreboard to nod his second goal of the season off a free kick served by
Paul Sanderude. Seaman's goal came off a good build up play that sophomore forward
Alex Bentley did well to layoff to seaman in the box for the clinical finish. Another good build up would result in Depaz's goal with
Yaw Danso turning provider and laying off the ball at the top of the box before Depaz neatly tucked away the ball for his second of the season. Cheatham did well to pick off an errant clearance by the beaver back line and took it twenty yards before curling the ball past the advancing keeper. The panthers are now 13-1 overall and 5-1 in conference play. The panthers have a quick turn around with a huge conference matchup against rival Greenville College on Monday afternoon . The match is slated for a 5pm kickoff.
