Lehigh Downed By St. John’s Friday Night

QUEENS, N.Y. – The Lehigh men's soccer team fell to St. John's, 5-0 Friday night at Belson Stadium in the finale of a three-game road trip.
"Obviously, it was a tough result for us tonight," said The Ingrassia Family Men's Head Soccer Coach Dean Koski. "I think as a coaching staff, we just got it wrong in terms of our game plan and our lineup and formation. Certainly, I feel for the guys on that. Did we play our best soccer? No, not at all. Tonight (including our scrimmages), we were the most disconnected that we've been so far.
"We're three games in and we have a lot of work to do. We believe this group is committed to doing the work and trying to figure it out. Our job as a coaching staff is to put this behind us and learn what we can and move onto the next game and get ready for La Salle. I do think we have the group to get it done this season and we will re-group and move on."
The Mountain Hawks (0-3) recorded a total of 10 shots with four on goal (two for first-year Yusef Gueye), but couldn't overcome the Red Storm who found the back of the net three times in the first half and twice in the second.
Antek Sienkiel netted a hat trick ('18, '23, '51) to lead the way for St. John's, while a 30th minute strike from Brandon Knapp and a 66th minute tally from Wesley Leggett put the finishing touches on the victory.
Lehigh used the services of two goalkeepers on the night, as first-year goalkeeper Tommy Chyzowych made three saves after coming on to play to begin the second half.
Senior Dominic Flowers took a team-high three shots off the bench, playing 55 minutes.
Lehigh will return to the Ulrich Sports Complex on Tuesday night for the first time, hosting La Salle at 6 p.m., streamed live on ESPN+ (subscription required).
