Canton, NY – Christopher Guallpa and Markel Mosley each recorded their first collegiate goals to lead the SUNY Canton men's soccer team to a 2-1 win against visiting SUNY Delhi on Saturday afternoon.

THE BASICS

HOW IT HAPPENED

• Delhi found the back of the net in the 24th minute off a corner kick by Matthew Pozo. The ball was loose in the box and headed by a Canton defender off a Bronco player before Stephen Birmingham kicked the ball in the open net just in front of the goal line.
• The Roos got the equalizer at the 41:00 mark when Guallpa collected a loose ball and ripped a shot from 25 yards out off the crossbar and in.
• Canton held a 4-2 shots on goal advantage in the opening half as the teams went to intermission tied at one.
• The Roos took their first lead of the game in the 58th minute when Hayden Brimelow played a cheeky flick forward lifting a pass forward to Mosley. Mosley one-timed a left-footed volley high just under the crossbar past Bronco keeper Salvatore Meloni.
• The Broncos had a good chance with just under seven minutes remaining but Jason Vela stopped Jared Daragjati's attempt from the right side to keep the one goal advantage.
