Santos, Di Marco Lead Bold to 4-0 Victory Over Laurentian

TORONTO – The Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) Bold men's soccer team claimed a 4-0 win against the Laurentian Voyageurs on Saturday in their first of two games this weekend to close out the regular season. Justin Santos netted two goals to lead the Bold while Luca Di Marco produced a goal and two assists. Aidan Hugo also recorded a multi-point night with a goal and an assist off the bench.

The game began with some senior day celebrations to recognize the players who will be graduating after this season. The players recognized were Chris Campoli, Colin Gander and Dante Ferraro, all of whom have made a mark in TMU's soccer program.

TMU had a fiery start to the game as they were eager to claim the lead.. The Bold put pressure on the Voyagers, frequently intercepting their offensive pushes. 14 minutes into the match, Santos scored off a beautiful pass from Di Marco following a steal.

Not getting too comfortable with the 1-0 lead, the Bold continued to look for scoring opportunities. Jevontae Layne pressed forward for a few good looks but couldn't capitalize off the chances.

The Bold's defensive line protected the net well, shifting the possession when they could. 

Going into the second half, the Bold continued to keep up the the momentum. Desperate for insurance on their lead, TMU was looking for an additional goal.

Santos and Di Marco decided to emulate their goal in the first half once again, pushing the lead to 2-0. 

"Me and Santos, we always connect on the field, through even just looking at each other. We've just always been able to assist one another," said Di Marco when asked about their chemistry on the pitch.

Santos agreed saying, "We've played together now for four years so we've kinda built something up."

Continuing to feed off the energy, Di Marco knocked in a goal of his own in the 83rd minute, extending the lead to 3-0.

Following the third goal, first-year midfielder, Aidan Hugo, who was hungry throughout the second half, added to the scoresheet to make the score 4-0.

TMU will finish the regular season at home against the Nipissing Lakers on Sunday. Kickoff at Downsview Park is set for 3:15 p.m. Catch the action live on OUA.tv.
