The Lakeland men's soccer team continued the road trip today as they traveled to Jamestown Community to face the Jayhawks. The Lakers used a strong defensive effort along wih some precision passing to beat the Jayhawks by a final of 3-0. Abram Gutierrez got the Lakers going 6 minutes into the contest when he intercepted a pass back to the Jayhwaks keeper and swiftly beat him. At the 35 minute mark, Bryan Perez scored to make it 2-0.  On the play, Roman Sonnie received a pass out of the air, turned, and sent a pass 20 yards across the box to Perez who one-timed it in for the goal. The score would remain 2-0 at the break. In the second half, the Lakers would play strong defense as they shut down the Jayhawks offense.

Coach Torres Talks: "The team really defended well. We stayed compact and organized the whole game. We are really happy with the clean sheet. We started off hot today - full pressure from the team. Really a great team effort and we have to give a shout out to Michael (Mortach) for getting the shutout. We realize that play is going to amp up from here. We have a real challenge ahead of us with the next couple of road games. We'll enjoy this today and then get back at it so we are ready to compete Wednesday."
