YUMA LAUNCHES LIONS TO VICTORY WITH ANOTHER HAT TRICK

ARPAN KAUR // yorkulions.ca
 
Dieu Merci Yuma continued his remarkable statistical pace, notching his second hat trick of the season to lead the York University Lions men's soccer team to a 4-0 victory over the Trent Excalibur at Alumni Field Friday evening.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • York started the game with a surge of offensive opportunities and quickly seized command of the game's pace, which paid off in the end, after Soji Olatoye was fouled in the box by a Excalibur defender, resulting in a penalty kick. Yuma took the shot and went on to score in the 21st minute giving York the lead. 
  • After half time, Yuma then scored his second goal on his third shot of the night in the 68th minute, assisted by Olatoye again. He completed the hat trick with a header just eight minutes later, making it 3-0 Lions.
  • Omar Marzouk capped off the night with a goal, finally breaking through in the 87th minute after taking seven shots on net.
NOTABLE NUMBERS
  • With his goals, Yuma now has 10 on the OUA season, and is right on the heels of McMaster's Dusan Kovacevic for the conference lead (11).
  • York improves to 3-0 at home, extending their winning streak to three games.
  • York outshot the Excalibur 21-1, and have now peppered opposing netminders with 46 shots in their last two games.
LOOKING AHEAD
 
Next up for the Lions is a rematch game against Trent on the road, as they aim to  sweep the season series against the Excalibur in Peterborough, Ont., on Sunday. Kick-off is slated for 3:15 pm.
