Box Score

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA – The Orange beat the Virginia Cavaliers 3-1 in their first conference match of the 2021 season. Sophomore forward Deandre Kerr led Syracuse (3-2 overall, 1-0 ACC) with two goals, including the first goal of the game in the sixth minute. Kerr carried the ball down the field to score put the Orange up 1-0. Graduate student defender Max Kent gave the Orange a 2-0 lead in the 19th minute of the game to mark his first Syracuse goal. Senior forward Colin Biros served Kent the ball in the box off a corner kick and Kent put it past Virginia goalkeeper Holden Brown on a header. This past week, the Cavaliers received votes in the United Soccer Coaches Top 25 Poll.

After allowing Virginia to get within one on a goal in the 23rd minute of the first half, the Orange answered to go up 3-1 in the 75th minute of the game when Kerr scored his second goal of the night. Biros fed Kerr the ball just outside the box for his second assist of the game.

"This was an entertaining college soccer match", said head coach Ian McIntyre "That was a tough place to go and get a win and I thought our team deserved three points. The starters and the guys that came in brought great energy and enthusiasm the whole match".
