Shreveport – The Centenary men's soccer team set a division III program era record for goals in a game with a 9-0 blowout victory over the Mississippi University for Women (MUW) Owls on Friday night in a non-conference contest at Atkins Field.
The Gents (2-1-1) raced out to a 5-0 lead at halftime and added four more goals in the second half over the Owls (0-4) to coast to the win. Centenary is now 3-0 all-time against MUW after Friday's win and wins in 2018 and last season. The previous record for goals in a game was set in a 7-0 win over Hendrix College on Sept. 24, 2019.
Freshman F Nathan Uduojie (Houston, Texas) recorded a hat trick for the Gents as he scored the first two goals of the match for the Maroon and White in the ninth and 14th minutes of the first half and added a third just 36 seconds after halftime for a 6-0 lead. Uduojie, who also tallied an assist on the Gents' third goal of the night, becomes only the third Gent to score three goals in a game in the D3 era as he joins Wil Escobar in 2019 and Nick Hammond in 2017 in doing so.
Senior F Gabriel Aragon (Forney, Texas) scored a pair of goals and added an assist as he found the net for the first two times in his career. Aragon is the 14th Centenary player, along with Uduojie, to score at least two goals in a match in the D3 era.
Senior F Ron Masti (Houston, Texas) scored the Gents' fourth goal of the match, assisted by Aragon, at the 37:14 mark of the first half as Masti recorded his first goal of the season and ninth of his career. Sophomore F Carter Webb (Flower Mound, Texas) made it 3-0 Gents at the 16:16 mark of the first period with Uduojie assisting as Carter scored his first goal of the season.
Freshman MF Kevin Huskey Jr. (Dallas, Texas) became the third Gents on the night to record a multi-goal performance as he scored in the 69th and 84th minutes, tallying the Gents' seventh and ninth goals of the match. He now has three goals this season after scoring his first on Sept. 1 against Piedmont.
Junior MF Brandon Guevara (Henderson, Texas), junior F Eoin Hamill (Belfast, Ireland), freshman MF Hayden Hughes (Dallas, Texas), freshman MF Emiliano Mondragon (Dallas, Texas), and senior D Christopher Tarr (Durban, South Africa) all recorded assists for the Gents as seven different players notched at least one. Mondragon had a pair of assists as he joins seven others to tally two assists in a match in the D3 era. All but one of the Gents' nine goals was assisted as the eight assists sets a new D3-era record for assists in a match and the 26 points in the match is also a new D-3 era record for points in a match.
Centenary completes the weekend with a non-conference match against Ouachita Baptist University, a division II program, on Sunday, Sept. 15 at 2 p.m. Centenary and OBU have not met since 2005 as the Gents are 4-0 all-time against the Tigers.
*Austin College and MUW will play each other on Sunday at NOON at Atkins Field prior to the Gents' match against Ouachita Baptist*
