Men's Soccer Faces Sage in Season Finale

Box Score YONKERS, N.Y.—Sarah Lawrence College men's soccer concluded the 2016 season with a 3-0 loss to The Sage Colleges in a Skyline game at Tibbetts Brook Park on Wednesday. At halftime, the team recognized the dedication and contributions of four-year student-athlete Roland Wynter (New York, N.Y./Lower Manhattan Arts Academy), playing in the final game of his career.

IN SHORT
Sage (7-7-3, 5-5-1 Skyline) def. Sarah Lawrence (4-13, 0-11 Skyline), 3-0.

KEY MOMENTS
In his final game in a Gryphons uniform, Wynter recorded the first shot of the evening, forcing an athletic save by the Gators' goalkeeper. Junior Alix Legrand (Damascus, Pa./Scranton Prep) also put a shot on target early in the game, but Sage scored two quick goals for a 2-0 advantage. Legrand added another shot in the second half, and sophomore Mohamed Camera fired a high attempt in the 74th minute. After over 70 straight minutes of stalwart defense, a late scramble by Sage gave the Gators their final goal with 11 seconds remaining in regulation. Goalkeeper Mehran Hicks (Hartsdale, N.Y./The Masters School) finished his 11th complete game with 10 saves.

SENIOR NIGHT
Wynter concluded his career having played in 52 games, including every minute of the 2016 season. Playing primarily on the back line, he recorded three goals, three assists and 22 shots. He had the game-winning goal and an assist in a 2013 victory over King's (N.Y.) and has played more minutes than any other player in Gryphons program history.

IN THE RECORD BOOK
Camara finished the season with a record 61 shots. Legrand became the second Gryphon to score multiple penalty kick goals, converting on both of his attempts this season. Hicks is the first goalkeeper to record four wins in a season, and his 126 saves are second most in a single season. He also notched the Gryphons' only complete-game shutout in the NCAA era (since 2012). Wynter and Legrand recorded a record 1,548 minutes of field time this season, while Tobias Geisler Mesevage (Ghent, N.Y./Hawthorne Valley Waldorf School) [1,543 minutes] and Colin Berg (Franklin, Mass./Mount Saint Charles Academy) [1,541 minutes] rounded out the first four Gryphons to surpass the 1,500-minute mark.
