Game 1: Eastern University v. PS Brandywine

ST. DAVIDS, Pa.--Eastern Men's Soccer scored early and often in their season-opener against the Penn St.-Brandywine Lions.


The Eagles scored five first-half goals en route to an 8-0 win. Eric Giovagnoli displayed his speed while scoring eight points, netting a hat trick and dishing two assists.

Brandon Beaumont found the goal first in the seventh minute, assisted by Giovagnoli. Giovagnoli then found Hunter Rosenberg near the far post for a tally in the 13th minute.

Giovanoli scored three minutes later, and Josh Cirocco and Jonathan Nazon each scored to round out the first half. Cirocco finished the day with a goal and two assists.

Midfielder Jair Saenz bent a ball over PSU's wall on a free kick in the 51st minute to put Eastern up 6-0 and Giovagnoli added two more goals, including one on a penalty kick.

Freshmen Jamie Stratton and Joe Centeno split time in goal for the Eagles. Each recorded one save.

Eastern outshot the Lions 27-2.

The Eagles will co-host with Cabrini College the Eagle Road Classic on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 6 and 7. Two teams will arrive to play Eastern one day and Cabrini the other. Eastern hosts Alvernia on Friday and Lebanon Valley on Saturday.
