The men's soccer team scored three unanswered goals in the second half to take a conference game over York College, 3-1, on Saturday afternoon in Brooklyn, NY. The Bloodhounds have now won four straight matches and improve to 4-7 on the season and 3-1 in the CUNY Athletic Conference. The Cardinals fall to 4-8 overall and 2-3 in the conference. 

The Cardinals scored the first goal of the contest two minutes into the half. John Jay outshot York 6-5 in the first half. 

Two minutes into the second half, senior Graysen Carlson scored his sixth goal of the season on a pass from senior Korede Griffith to tie the game at 1 apiece. The Sacramento, CA native has now recorded a goal in five straight games. Approximately 16 minutes later, Griffith gave the Bloodhounds a 2-1 lead. The Bloodhounds added an insurance goal when freshman Ricardo Llano connected on a shot from 25 yards out. 

Fortunately, that was all the Bloodhounds needed as they would go on to defeat York, 3-1. Senior Vitecha Kochaon made six saves in the contest for his second straight win of the season. Griffith finished with a goal, an assist, and two shots on goal. Carlson recorded a goal and four shots. Llanos registered a goal and an assist.

The Bloodhounds host Kean University on Monday, October 6, for a non-conference match at 3pm at the College of Staten Island.
