October 8 marked the first men’s soccer scrimmage for the month of October.

The red squad was made up of first-years  Haris Suljevic and Farid Ghaliya, sophomore  Denis Fleming, juniors Henry Cummings, Robbie Anderson, captain Benny Tamzarian, Ethan Rose, Noah Munroe, Anthony Fonseca, Blaise Masumbuko, Nate Howard and seniors Ben Musese, captain Isaiah Lovering and captain Connor Downey.

The white squad was made up of first-years Matheus Martins, Thiago Fantacelli, Thomas Degnan, Connor Ludwig, sophomores James McCully, Wyatt Linville, Noah Spaulding, juniors Gavin Fitzpatrick, Vance Bates, Zachary Marsh, Anthony Pasciuto, Enoch Kasa and seniors Clinton Mugeta and Jonah Smith.

This was the first time the men’s soccer team had seen the field for a competition all season and they did not hold back. With head coach Rick Scott on commentary and the assistant coaches leading their squads, the game began.

It was a slow start in the first half of the scrimmage for both teams. The first score would be made by red squad member Denis Fleming off of a free kick on goalie Gavin Fitzpatrick. Only a minute later fellow red squad member Connor Downey would send it to the back of the goal again, bringing the score to 2-0.

The second half would tell a similar tale with red squad member Isaiah Lovering scoring once again around the 20-minute mark of the second half. His score would bring the score to 3-0, which it would remain at until the end of the game.

Final score of the game was 3-0 with the red squad sweeping it.

Rick Scott spoke in-depth about the new faces on the team and what the student body has to look forward to from the team this season.

The next men’s soccer scrimmage will be October 21 at 6:30 p.m. at Dr. Ron Butcher Field.

Watch the men’s soccer team in action against Plymouth State University and Rhode Island College on October 17 at 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. as part of the Fall Jamboree.

If you wish to show up and support the team you must be up-to-date on Keene State College’s COVID-19 protocol and have the correct colored wrist band.

Claire Boughton

Hello! My name is Claire Boughton. I have worked with the Equinox for a little over two years and have held the position of the Senior Sports Reporter and now the Sports Editor. I am from West Simsbury, Connecticut, and live with my mom and dad. I have an older brother named Grant who is currently living in Albany, New York, but plans to move to New York City in a few months (because a global pandemic didn’t seem to scare him away from city-life). I have two cats named Stella and Luna, a dog named Sage and a fish named Shrimp. My cats are both 16 years old, making them both 108 human years old. That means that they would have survived through the Great Depression, both World Wars, the Cold War, women earning the right to vote and so much more. That’s a lot of wisdom. My dog is 12 years old, making her 74 human years old. We adopted her when she was four years old from Arkansas. I’m not sure how old Shrimp is but he is a baby betta I bought at PETCO about three weeks ago. I am an avid plant owner and love to help my friends and family keep their plants alive. I also wrote an article on kscequinox.com about what plants are good for what dorm rooms. I paint and draw in whatever free time I have and sometimes ride my bike that I got in middle school. My favorite part of the Sports Editor position is creating the weekly layout for the sports section. I have always loved design and making things nice to look at which I get to do every week with this job! If you are interested in writing for the sports section or have any questions you can contact me at cboughton@kscequinox.com.
