Wildcats Fall To Nationally-Ranked Lakers

ERIE, Pa. – Junior Dylan Sumner scored two goals to lead Mercyhurst University to a 4-0 victory over Daemen University here tonight in non-conference men's soccer action. Mercyhurst, which entered the game ranked No. 20 in the United Soccer Coaches Division II national poll, improved to 8-1-0 on the year. Daemen dropped to 2-6-1.

  • The hosts opened the scoring eight minutes into the game when Sumner netted his first of the game of a pass from junior Frank Lovett.
  • The score remained 1-0 until the Lakers struck again with just 3:21 left in the first half. Senior Carlos Cueva scored his first of the season off a feed from junior Jorge Tallada Tores.
  • Mercyhurst was awarded a penalty kick just three minutes into the second half and Sumner converted the opportunity for his team-leading seventh goal of the year.
