Here we go again.
One year after starting the fall season winless in its first five games before rattling off six wins in its next seven, the men's soccer team is once again primed to go on an October hot-streak.
After opening 2007 with an 0-4-1 record, the Jumbos earned their second straight win last night, improving to 2-4-1 with a decisive 5-0 whopping of the Plymouth State Panthers.
Senior Kevin Anglin led the charge for Tufts, scoring in the game's opening minutes and then striking again in the second half to widen the deficit. Anglin's second tally opened up a scoring barrage for the Jumbos, who followed up with rockets from senior Dan Jozwiak, senior tri-captain Greg O'Connell and freshman Alex Lach that sealed the victory. Lach, junior Peter DeGregorio and freshman Naji Muakkassa also chipped in with one assist apiece.
The Jumbo defense was able to hold off scoring threats from the Panthers in the second period, with junior David McKeon recording five saves in the Jumbos' second straight shutout effort.
The Jumbos will now gear up for Homecoming Saturday, as they will host the Bowdoin Polar Bears (5-2, 2-2 NESCAC) in search of their third win of the season.
