BETHLEHEM, Pa. --- The Moravian University men's soccer squad remained unbeaten in Landmark Conference action while securing a berth in the 2024 Landmark Conference Tournament with a 1-0 victory over Elizabethtown College Wednesday evening on John Makuvek Field.

How It Happened

  • The squads played a scoreless first half with the Hounds holding a 7-4 advantage in shots and the Blue Jays having a 3-2 edge in corner kicks
  • Moravian looked to have taken a lead in the 50th minute but the squad was called offsides on a corner kick as the ball sailed into the net
  • The Blue Jays nearly went ahead in the 65th minute; however, junior goalie Casey Prajzner tipped the ball away from the upper right corner
  • The Greyhounds scored the lone goal of the match in the 70th minute. Sophomore midfielder Max Teneza took a free kick and sent the ball to sophomore midfielder Giuseppe Propato on the right side of the 18-yard box.
