NEW LONDON, Conn. – The Connecticut College men's soccer team earned a decisive 4-1 victory over Bates on Saturday afternoon. Four different Camels' players scored en route to the three-goal decision on Senior Day.

Connecticut College (7-4-3 overall, 3-4-2 NESCAC) entered the contest outside in ninth place in the NESCAC standings, with the top-eight teams qualifying for the conference tournament at season's end.

For the first 20 minutes of the game, both teams jockeyed for possession and field position, but the Camels quickly gained the clear edge in offensive chances.

At 21:14, Conn broke through on the scoreboard. After earning a corner kick, Alessandro Horvath Diano (New Haven, Conn.) crossed the ball into the box. Augie Djerdjaj (Mahopac, N.Y.) was waiting in the middle of the penalty area, and the pass was located perfectly on his right foot. The senior redirected the ball into the left corner of the net, leaving no chance for Bates keeper Nico Hessel. The goal was Djerjdaj's sixth of the season and put the Camels ahead 1-0 midway through the first half.

Just a few minutes later, the Bobcats threatened with a chance of their own. Sebastian Iacovitti landed a header from only a few yards outside of the Camels' goal, but keeper Peter Silvester (Smiths Parish, Bermuda) showed off his quick reflexes by snuffing out the attempt. The Camels would hold Bates scoreless for the remainder of the half.

Conn added on to its lead early in the second period. At the 47:43 mark, Steve Yeonas (McLean, Va.) dribbled the ball into the Bates penalty area. As several defenders swarmed around him, Yeonas dished it to an open Jack Marvel (Marion, Mass.), who finished with his left foot to give the Camels a two-goal lead.

Bates bounced back eight minutes later when Alec Szwarcewicz scored on a free kick just outside the box to cut the lead to 2-1 in favor of Conn.

Not willing to sit on a one-goal lead, the Camels immediately pressed the attack. After earning another corner kick, Horvath Diano curled the cross towards Hessel. The Bates keeper had the ball for a moment before it slipped through his hands and into the net. Horvath Diano was credited with the goal, his first of the season.

In the 78^th minute, the Camels sealed the victory with their fourth score of the contest. Djerdjaj took the ball into the Bates penalty area and made an outstanding lead pass to first year Gavin Vanden Berg (Lake Forest Park, Wash.) who was able to get a soft touch on the ball and put it past Hessel to secure the three-goal lead. Conn buckled down defensively for the remainder of the game, and picked up three points in the conference standings with the 4-1 win.

Silvester stopped three shots in goal for the Camels and split time with Sam Maidenberg (South Orange, N.J.) who came on in the second half as a substitute. Hessel also made three saves for Bates. Conn was the more dominant offensive team throughout the entirety of the game and registered 15 total shots, nearly double the amount tallied from the Bobcats.

With the victory, the Camels hold a seven-game win streak over Bates dating back to 2015.

Prior to the game, eight athletes were celebrated for their achievements and accolades during the course of their careers at Conn, including contributions to the program's first regular season NESCAC crown and the school's first NCAA National Championship title.

Connecticut College will wrap up the regular season on Tuesday, Oct. 25 at 3 p.m. on Freeman Field.
