Flagler continues strong defense, great offense

Flagler Colleges men’s soccer team completed their 13th game on Thursday night when they defeated Saint Xavier, 7-1. Zach Shanahan scored twice for the Saints, while 5 different players each contributed to Flagler’s high goal total.

It’s beginning to look like another promising season for the Saints, with its defense playing a major role in their victories. The one goal given up on Thursday’s match was just the 12th goal allowed. However, the stat looks a little odd when realizing that Flagler has shutout opponents eight times out of its 13 total games. Seven of their goals given up were in a three game streak against Rollins, Lander and Lynn.
