EMMITSBURG, Md. (October 31, 2021) – Freshman men's soccer forward Cavan Fernandes converted a penalty for his first collegiate goal as Mount St. Mary's was defeated by Long Island 5-1 Sunday.
 
Fernandes got the opportunity thanks to a handball in the 85^th minute. His shot skirted past the Sharks' Demetri Skoumbakis to prevent the shutout. He is one of two freshmen Mountaineers to register a goal this season, joining Marcus Lewis.
 
Mount fired six shots on the afternoon with two on goal. Lewis led the way with a pair, and freshman Shaan Verma tallied an attempt in his first career start.
 
A slow paced first half resulted in one goal, secured by the Sharks at the 15^th minute. Emil Jaaskelainen registered his league leading 14^th score on the year. LIU added four goals in the second half, including two from Assane Ben Fall.
