Hyde Scores Twice as Men’s Soccer Closes Non-Conference Slate with Road Win

The Gannon men's soccer team closed its non-conference slate on a high note Wednesday afternoon, outlasting D'Youville 3–2 behind a two-goal performance from Rafa Hyde (São José dos Campos, Brazil/).

The Golden Knights took control early and withstood a late push from the Saints to stay unbeaten in October. Gannon improved to 5-2-4 overall, while D'Youville dropped to 3-6-2 on the season.

It was a productive afternoon for the Knights' attack, led by Sverre Orten (Orsta, Norway/Aalesund vgs), who recorded his first two-assist match of the season. Orten now leads the team with 20 points, pacing Gannon in assists (6) and goals (7).

Hyde netted his fourth and fifth goals of the season and added an assist, while Enzo Rekka (Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina/Gymnasium of the Catholic School Centre "Sveti Franjo") tallied his fourth goal of the year. Shota Toyama (Kanagawa, Japan/Tama) chipped in with an assist on Hyde's game-winner to round out Gannon's balanced offensive showing.
