LISLE, Ill. – The MSOE men's soccer team surpassed their highest goal score of the season Saturday night, scoring five unanswered goals with Joey Loduca recording his first career multi-goal game to take down Benedictine University.

RESULT
MSOE RAIDERS – 6

Benedictine - 3

HOW IT HAPPENED

• MSOE (7-3-2, 4-1-1 NACC) didn't hesitate to get on the board quickly as Danny Aranda fed Adrian Manchado to middle to keep his hot streak going to open the scoring in the 8^th minute. Benedictine (3-5-1, 2-2-1 NACC) answered with a response scoring in the 14^th minute but that didn't slow down the Red & White one bit as they answered with goals from Ditar Useni in the 16^th minute and Lachlan Ladd in the 18^th minute to make the score 3-1. As the first half was nearing a close, Loduca kept the scoring going as he scored twice in the final three minutes to blow the doors open, heading into the breaking leading 5-1.
• The Raiders didn't let the halftime break slow their momentum as Nico Picha just over a minute into the second half beginning got the scoring started once again to extend the lead to 6-1. The Eagles were able to cut into the deficit adding a penalty kick goal in the 55^th minute and then added another in the closing minutes but overcome it any further.
