Shreveport- The Centenary men's soccer team recorded an impressive 4-1 victory over the Austin College 'Roos on Sunday afternoon in a Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference contest at Atkins Field.
The Gents (6-5-2, 4-2-0 SCAC) extended their season-best winning streak to three and improved to 4-1-1 at home this season. The 'Roos fell to 4-5-2 overall and 3-2-1 in league play and are 2-3 on the road.
Centenary, which has outscored its last three opponents 13-2, scored three or more goals in a match for the fourth time this season and held an opponent to one goal or less for the seventh time. The Gents also made history on Sunday as they now have four conference wins which is their most in a single season since joining the SCAC prior to the 2012 season. The Gents' previous high for SCAC wins in a season was three accomplished four times (2016, 2019, 2020, and 2024).
Junior MF Jacob Ramsey (Baton Rouge, La.) opened the scoring as he found the net in the 20th minute, an unassisted score, for his third goal of the season to give the Gents an early 1-0 lead.
Centenary took that 1-0 lead into halftime and then in the opening minutes of the second half, senior F Gabriel Aragon (Forney, Texas) was fouled inside the box and converted a penalty kick to make it 2-0 at the 46:44 mark as he scored for the third time this season..
Ramsey scored again in the 55th minute, sneaking the ball into the net on a beautiful goal off an assist from junior D Lochlan Scott (Glasgow, Scotland).
Marco Guzman scored in the 65th minute, assisted by Nael Errami, to get the 'Roos on the board and sophomore MF Angel Montoya (Kyle, Texas) capped the scoring in the 80th minute, with an unassisted goal and his second of the season to make it 4-1.
Senior GK Casey Clemo (Forney, Texas) started his fourth-straight match and picked up the win as he went the distance and recorded a season-high eight saves. Patrick Bassett also played all 90 minutes in the net for Austin College and made two saves.
The Gents are fighting for a berth into next month's conference tournament as the 2025 SCAC Men's Soccer Tournament returns to a six-team format for the first time since the 2020-21 COVID-19 shortened season. The tournament will be held the first week of November at the Round Rock Multipurpose Complex in Round Rock, Texas. Quarterfinal matches will be contested on Thursday, Nov. 6, the semifinal matches on Friday, Nov. 7 and the championship match will be played Sunday, Nov. 9.
The Gents, picked to finish eighth in the preseason poll, are currently alone in fourth place in the conference standings and their four wins are tied for the most in the league with Colorado College (4-0-2) and Texas Lutheran University (4-1-1).
Centenary remains at home next weekend for a pair of league matches, facing the University of the Ozarks Eagles on Friday (7 PM) and Hendrix College on Sunday (2 PM). The Gent will honor their senior class following Friday's match.
