PHILADELPHIA – A Halloween treat of two goals from senior Kyrese Lynch-Bailey and one from junior Pedro Amadou on senior day helps secure a 3-0 win over conference-leader Duquesne. The win also sends men's soccer to the Atlantic 10 postseason tournament.
The first of Lynch-Bailey's goals came in the 19th minute, assisted by sophomore Julius de Vries. Lynch-Bailey found the net again in the first half, scoring the second goal in the 39th minute, off an assist from senior Keiji Sugiura. Amadou joined in on the action with a goal of his own, an unassisted breakaway, in the 59th minute.
The Dukes bested La Salle in shots, 19-7, but both teams only shot on frame four times each.
Graduate student goalkeeper Sean Ellis earned his second shutout in as many games, refusing four shots in the match.
Men's soccer will re-match Duquesne in Pittsburgh, Pa. in the Atlantic 10 quarterfinals Friday, November 6. Kick-off is set for 7 p.m., with the match livestreamed on ESPN+.
