HAMBURG, N.Y. – The Hilbert College men's soccer team returned to campus today with a 4-0 AMCC defeat to La Roche University on a wet and sloppy field.
The Hawks kept pace with La Roche through one half, trailing by a 1-goal margin by intermission.
The Redhawks exploded with three quick hits in a five-minute window to put the game away after the break.
After Hilbert was tagged with tripping in the box, La Roche reached away from
Brandon Bundschuh who made his season debut in goal for Hilbert.
With a 2-0 lead, La Roche knocked the final two markers over the goal line before the 57th minute.
Bundschuh was credited with 10 saves in the full 90-minute contest.
La Roche outshot the Hawks (39-9) and attempted four corner kicks.
Hilbert finished with five shots on goal, each taken by a different player and looked to score off their three corner kicks.
The Hawks (0-8-1, 0-5 AMCC) will host Alfred State (0-11, 0-5 AMCC) in their first contest as league opponents this coming Tuesday, October 15. First kick-off set for 1pm.
