Durham men’s soccer blanks rival Seneca

The No. 9 nationally-ranked Durham College men’s soccer team handed the twelfth-ranked Seneca Sting their first loss of the season winning by a final score of 2-0 on Sept. 22.
Durham takes over top spot in the east region with a 4-1-0 record, sitting six points ahead of Seneca (2-1-0), Centennial (2-1-0) and Algonquin (2-2-0), all of whom the Lords have beat this season.
After several missed opportunities for Durham throughout the first half, it was Austin MacDonell who finally broke the ice as he busted out of his scoring slump in a big way. The Lords veteran headed in a cross from Robert Baxter-Dennis for a goal that would end up being the eventual game winner.
With 10 minutes to go in the second half, Durham added some insurance as they capitalized off a set play. Nicholas Axhorn perfectly timed a header off a cross from Bruce Cullen to put the Lords up 2-0.
Dylan Yeo would earn the clean sheet in goal for Durham, his third in five games.
Durham has outscored their opponents 13-3 this season so far.
The Lords will face Algonquin at home in a rematch of their season opener on Sept. 29 at Vaso’s Field. Kick off is at 8:15 p.m.
