Holbert and Company Sinks the College of Staten Island, 3-2

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – The Assumption University men's soccer team saw sophomore Cody Holbert score in the 84th minute to lift the Greyhounds past the College of Staten Island, 3-2 in non-conference action, Saturday afternoon. 

THE BASICS
Score: Assumption University 3, College of Staten Island 2
Records: Greyhounds (2-0-0, 0-0-0 NE10) | Dolphins (0-1-0, 0-0-0 ECC)

HOW IT HAPPENED
Assumption was the first team to strike, as Brady Devos delivered a penalty kick into the lower left corner of the cage in the fifth minute of action. The hosts answered four minutes later with a penalty kick of their own. Holbert regained the lead for the Greyhounds as the pass from Jorgo Karmelo freed the forward from the defense, and after a bit of stutterstep, the Marshfield, Mass., drove in the go-ahead score in the 31st minute. The College of Staten Island responded once again, as they capitalized on their second penalty kick goal of the first half. 
 
In the second half, the scoring slowed down, but both offenses continued to apply heavy pressure on the opposing back line. Assumption outshot the hosts 8-3 in the second, while both sides took four corner kicks. The Greyhounds would break through in the 84th minute, as Holbert scored off a Soul Marrakchi through-ball. The Blue and White held off a final push by the Dolphins and captured their second-straight 3-2 win.
