The Lancaster Bible men's soccer team won its fourth straight game and extended its unbeaten streak to five games as the Chargers defeated Wilson, 3-0 in Chambersburg, Pa. The victory moves the Chargers to 7-2-3 this season and 4-2-1 in North Eastern Athletic Conference play. 

How it Happened: Wilson had the early shots on goal as the Phoenix took seven shots before the Chargers attempted one. However, Lancaster Bible's first shot was a good one as sophomore Nathan Recalo scored the first collegiate goal of his career to give the Chargers a 1-0 lead 23:27 into the contest. A game after recording his first collegiate point with an assist, Recalo added his first collegiate goal to give the Chargers all the scoring they would need.

The score remained 1-0 through halftime and a 30-minute weather delay caused by lightning in the area. The game resumed with 26:33 to play and the Chargers took advantage of the remaining minutes as they fired seven shots and scored twice. The first goal came off the foot of Jared Steiner who converted a shot from the left-hand side of the field with 7:25 remaining. Senior Josiah Groff scored 1:54 later to put the game away as he converted a free kick from just outside the box that tipped off of the goalkeeper and into the net.

The Coach Says: "The team defense was great again today," Lancaster Bible Head Coach Tom Ardt said. "We are picking up long balls and communicating much better than in the beginning of the season. We are getting good pressure by our midfielders and the defensemen are reading that pressure and adjusting as is necessary."
