Bison Dominate Washington Adventist

WASHINGTON, DC – The Howard University men's soccer team recorded its first shutout of the season with a 5-0 victory over Washington Adventist at Greene Stadium on Tues. night. This was the widest margin of victory for the Bison in over 11 years. With the win, HU improves to 2-7-2 on the year.

The Bison offense dominated the field. Patrick Rose had a phenomenal night, scoring consecutive goals minutes before intermission to give HU a slim 2-0 cushion after the first 45 minutes of play. Rose scored again just under the 60th minute to extend the Bison advantage to 3-0. In the second half, Christoph Ingram caught a pass from the right side off Rose for another Howard goal. Five minutes later, Ingram dribbled the length of the field to give the Bison a comfortable 5-0 spread that proved to be too much for Washington Adventist.
