Men's Soccer Falls to Moravian On Senior Day

EDWARDSVILLE, Pa. – The Wilkes University men's soccer team battled Moravian on Bruggeworth Field on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, where a second-half goal lifted the Greyhounds over the Colonels 2–1.

The win moves Moravian to second in the Landmark Conference at 5–1–2 and 9–3–5 overall. The Colonels drop to 1–12–2 overall and 1–6–1 in the Landmark.

Moravian struck first in the seventh minute when Logan Moore found the back of the net off a cross. The Greyhounds dominated the first half, outshooting Wilkes 16–2, but Moravian only landed three shots on target, and Matthew Conti (Florence, NJ/Florence Township Memorial High School) saved the other two shots, keeping the Colonel's deficit at 1–0 going into the half.

Both teams turned up the physicality in the second half, with nine fouls and a pair of yellow cards. One of those cards resulted in the Colonels' goal, when a yellow card was assessed to Moravian goalkeeper Joey Varano during a Wilkes' corner kick. Wilkes evened the score at 1–1 when Giovanni Mazzola (Whitehall, PA/Whitehall High School) buried the penalty kick in the bottom of the net in the 50th minute. Moravian delivered the game-winning goal in the 59th minute by going quick off a free kick and scoring off the advantage, securing the Greyhounds a 2–1 victory.

Moravian outshot the Colonels 26–4, but only 9–2 on target. Conti played the first half in goal, making three saves before being relieved by Landon Keller (Provo, UT/Timpview), who stopped four shots in the second half.

Prior to the game, Wilkes honored 10 seniors for senior day.

The Colonels conclude the 2026 season at home against Lycoming on Wednesday, Oct. 28 at 7 p.m.
