PROVIDENCE, R.I. -
The Providence College men's soccer team defeated Villanova, 2-1, at the Ray Treacy Track and Field Complex on Saturday, Oct. 11 for their first BIG EAST win of the season. Senior Fabio Machado (Santa Catarina, Brazil) scored the game-winning goal for the Friars.
The Friars jumped out to an early, 1-0 lead after a cross from Fabio Machado. The ball was shot into the bottom right of the net, just outside the six-yard box, by sophomore Mac Steeves (Needham, Mass.) at 6:34. The goal marked Steeves' fifth goal of the season.
The wildcats responded with a Colton Bryant goal in the 40th minute. Bryant headed the ball into the net off a free kick from Max Kroschwitz. At the end of the first half, the game was tied 1-1.
