How It Happened
Franciscan Men's Soccer team improved their PAC record to 5-0 with a win over Thiel on Wednesday.
The Barons were on the attack early , as they were able to get a handful of quality in the first fifteen minutes. Sebastian Koehler would find the back of the net on an assist from Jonathon Schriner a little over twenty minutes in to set the score at 1-0. Franciscan would be able to add on just five minutes later. Mikey Irvin would score his second goal of the year on an assist from JP Bobak.
Franciscan would not be satisfied with the 2-0 halftime lead, and they would keep up the offensive attack in the second half. Eight minutes into the second half Jonathan Schriner would score his first goal of the night on a pass from Mikey Irvin. Franciscan would keep up the attack, as Justin Fioramonti would bury his first goal of the season to make it 4-0 in the 61st minute. Franciscan would add a fifth goal nearly 20 minutes later, as senior Nick Cross would score his first goal of the season.
Inside the Numbers
- Mikey Irvin and Jonathon Schriner each had three points on the night.

Who's Next?
Franciscan will travel to Washington & Jefferson on Saturday. The Barons are 3-8-1 all-time against the Presidents with a 1-1 tie last season in Steubenville. Washington & Jefferson scored first in the the first half, and they would take the 1-0 lead into the half. Jair Mautone would provide the equalizer in the second half on an assist by Mikey Irvin. That score of 1-1 would hold up through both overtimes, as Brian Gaughan had six saves over the 110 minutes.
