The University of The Bahamas (UB) Mingoes men’s soccer team got a huge win on Sunday, turning back the Renegades, 3-0, at the Roscow A.L. Davies Soccer Field.

The Mingoes got a goal from Renaldo Green, another one from Joshua Johnson and also scored on a penalty kick from Green.

Johnson scored his first goal for the season. Green scored on a penalty kick just five minutes into the contest and picked up his second goal in the final 10 minutes of the game. On that final shot, he avoided a defender and placed the ball skillfully past the goalkeeper on a brilliant strike.

Head Coach Dion Godet said he was proud of the team and loved the tenaciousness the team brought to the game, particularly in the second half.

“We could have scored more, as we played a very good team who have been revamped and we added a couple of new people to our team,” he shared. Above all, Coach Godet felt the game was balanced, with new players stepping into leadership roles during the game and he was pleased that the game ended with a clean sheet.

“The guys brought a lot of fight tonight and they played a tough, hard-fought game. We need to be a little more disciplined because we got some yellow cards that we should not have gotten, but all-in-all I think the guys played a very good game. It was balanced and we had a strong all-around performance,” said Godet.

The Mingoes next play the Cavaliers in regular season action. That game will take place on Sunday February 13 at Roscow A.L. Davies Soccer Field.
