Men's Soccer: No. 12 Raiders Down Marietta for Conference Win

ALLIANCE, Ohio – The No. 12 nationally ranked Mount Union men's soccer team defeated Marietta in an Ohio Athletic Conference matchup 3-0 on Wednesday evening.

The Purple Raiders (11-1-1, 2-1-1 OAC) would strike first when sophomore AJ Jaber (Massillon / Massillon Jackson) scored off assists from seniors Carter Hancock (Amherst / Marion L. Steele) and Omar Najjar (Akron / Revere) to take a 1-0 lead. Mount Union would then extend their lead in the 32nd minute this time senior Jamon McCort (Magnolia / Sandy Valley) found the back of the net off an assist from senior Zak Peterjohn (North Royalton) to take a 2-0 lead into the halftime break.

Freshman Dom Kustura (Willowick / Eastlake North) would add to the Raider lead with a goal in the 77th minute. The Pioneers (3-9-1, 1-3-0 OAC) wouldn't be able to answer over the final 13 minutes of action as Mount Union would go on to win 3-0.

Freshman goalkeeper Jackson Callender (Cleveland Heights / Notre Dame Cathedral Latin) recorded his fourth shutout of the season in the victory.

The Raiders hit the road next when they travel to Columbus to take on Capital on Saturday, October 14 at 1 p.m.
