Vera strikes in 85th minute to give #18 Judges 1-0 win over John Carroll

WALTHAM, Mass. – The Brandeis University men's soccer team struck for the game-winning goal in the 85th minute as the 18th-ranked Judges defeated visiting John Carroll University, 1-0, on Gordon Field today.

TEAM RECORDS
  • Brandeis, 7-0-2, ranked #18 in Division III by United Soccer Coaches.
  • John Carroll, 4-4-2.
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • The Judges controlled play for much of the game, owning 60 percent of possession and outshooting JCU, 16-8, including 10-3 in the first half.
  • The Blue Streaks' Owen Szucs made four saves in the first 45 minutes, while Brandeis senior Tyler Correnti (West Newbury, Mass./Pentucket Regional) had one stop in the 34th minute, a diving effort on JCU's Harley Forkins.
  • The Judges continued their pressure in the second stanza and it finally paid off with less than five minutes remaining. Junior Juan Vera (Caracas, Venezuela/Cypress Bay, Fla.) played give-and-go with senior Slater Loffredo (Northampton, Mass./Northwood School), allowing Vera to shake free into the 18-yard box. Vera split two Blue streak defenders into the six-yard box and beat Szucs into the left side of the goal.
  • It was Vera's second goal of the season and of his career, both of which have been game-winners.
  • The assist was the first of Loffredo's career.
  • The Blue Streaks were able to get one more shot off after falling behind, but it was well off target.
  • Szucs made six saves in the losing effort, while Correnti had just on the one stop for the Judges.
INSIDE THE NUMBERS
  • With the win, the Judges improve to 2-0 all-time against John Carroll.
  • At 7-0-2, the Judges are off to their best start since 2014, when they won their first 11 matches.
  • Brandeis is 10-0-2 in their last 12 games dating back to last season, their longest unbeaten streak since winning their last five games of 2011 and going 11-0-1 to start 2012, a 17-game unbeaten streak.  
UP NEXT
  • The Judges will travel to St. Louis to take on #12-ranked Washington University next Saturday at noon Eastern (11 a.m. Central) in their University Athletic Association opener.
