The Centenary University men's soccer team was unable to find the net on Friday night, falling 3-0 to SUNY Maritime in non-conference play.
The Privateers struck for one goal in the first half, before adding two more in the second and building momentum that carried throughout the match. Despite the setback, Centenary's defensive effort was highlighted by goalkeeper
Kevin Velasquez Mejia, who turned aside eight shots while facing relentless pressure.
Offensively, the Cyclones struggled to generate chances but still managed two quality looks at goal.
Yalin Salinas and
Thierry Berinyuy Ngwa each fired on frame, forcing Maritime's keeper into action.
With the loss, the Cyclones will look to regroup quickly as they return home to Hackettstown for a Sunday afternoon matchup. Centenary will host Keystone College at 2 p.m., aiming to bounce back and secure their second win of the season in front of the home crowd.
