Flagler midfielder Sean Gormley can’t help but laugh when asked what the first victory of the season means to a Flagler’s men’s soccer team that was on the verge of a 15th straight winless game.
“There are so many games where we’ve played well in the first half and then just let it get away,” Gormley said. “To get up on them [Thomas] and finish the way we did raises everyone’s confidence.”
The Saints have started the 2007 season 0-8-1 and were looking at a potential 10th winless game of the season as they took the field against Thomas University on Oct. 6. They notched the season’s second win Nov. 14 at home with a 2-1 victory over Saint Xavier University of Chicago.
