2nd-ranked Mobile defeats Nyack College 6-0

MOBILE, Ala. – The University of Mobile men’s soccer team (10-0-1) handily defeated Nyack College Oct. 5, 6-0. Outshooting the Nyack College Purple Pride 20-6, the Rams got on the score board early in the second half and never looked back.

      The win is just what Mobile’s head coach Peter Fuller was looking for as his 2nd-ranked Rams will play host to 1st-ranked Lindsey Wilson College Wednesday. Oct. 9, at 7:30 p.m. “We couldn’t ask to be a in a better position heading into Wednesday’s game against Lindsey,” a pleased Peter Fuller commented after the win.

      While clearly in control the entire time, it was not until the 57th minute that the Rams would send a ball to the back of the old onion bag. Playing the ball to the end line, Mobile’s Carron Williams crossed the ball which was accidentally misdirected by Nyack’s Jeff Pearson for an own goal in the 57th minute.

      The flood gates seemingly opened up as seconds later the Rams’ Mike Fricke scored an unassisted goal to put Mobile up 2-0.

      Moments later Mobile’s Carron Williams struck again, denting the net to put Mobile up 3-0 in the 58th minute.

      Rams coach Peter Fuller, wanting a “four-goal result to take care of our Longo,” got his wish when Chris Williams scored Mobile’s fourth goal in the 62nd minute.

     Longo, a rating system that assigns points based upon location, strength of the team and point spread, plays a significant role in determining post-season play location and who in fact gets to play.

      Defender Steven Linpow scoring on a penalty kick in the 67th minute and defender Jamie Ferguson scoring on a header in the 73rd minute, accounted for Mobile’s final two goals. Ferguson continues to be the Rams leading scorer as he has 6 goals on the season.
