Man Scores Twice As #19 Roadrunners Snap Bethel Winning Streak


DALTON, Ga. - Jordan Man scored twice, while Daniel Valenciano and Santiago Moore each notched a goal as #19 Dalton State snapped (RV) Bethel's four game winning streak in a 4-3 win at Lakeshore Park Soccer Complex on Thursday night.

THE FIRST HALF
The high powered Bethel attack came out pushing early, but the Dalton State D stepped up and halted the attack. The teams would trade possession for most of the first half until the 38' when Jerry Wiltsher found the back of the net for a 1-0 Bethel lead. The lead would be short lived as Santiago Moore found a cutting Daniel Valenciano on a corner kick in the 41' to tie the score at 1-1 going into the half.

THE SECOND HALF
The Roadrunners would start the second half on fire. Taeylor Fisch would intercept a ball in the Bethel half at the 49' mark and head it to Jordan Man who did the rest, beating Bethel goalkeeper Marco Taaffe to give Dalton State a 2-1 lead.

Man would strike again four minutes later with his second goal, blazing through the Bethel defense like a fighter jet and putting a Santiago Moore cross past Taaffe for a 3-1 lead. Bethel would claw back as Vincius Rebeiro slid past the Roadrunner D and beat Samuel Fraire to make it a one goal game at 3-2.

Moore would continue to have a big night as well, adding a goal to his two assist in the 67' on a pretty assist from Daniel Valenciano to extend the lead to 4-2. Bethel would cut the lead back to one goal at 4-3 in the 70' when Jaiquan Bristol sent a shot past Fraire. Bethel would have two more opportunities to tie the match, but the Roadrunner D held tight as Dalton State held on for the 4-3 victory.

THE REST OF THE STORY
#19 Dalton State improves to (8-3 overall, 1-2 SSAC) with the win and snaps their two game losing streak, while (RV) Bethel drops to (9-3 overall, 2-1 SSAC) with the loss. Santiago Moore is making a case for conference player of the year with another outstanding game, recording one goal and two assist. Moore now has nine goals and 12 assist on the year.

Jordan Man continues to have a stellar season notching his fifth and sixth goals of the year, while Daniel Valenciano found the back of the net for the third time.

In all, the Roadrunners out shot the Wildcats 12-6 and held SSAC leading goal scorer Mustapha Wadda to only two shots.
