The University of The Bahamas (UB) Mingoes men's soccer team couldn't stop scoring against the Baha Juniors FC in Bahamas Football Association (BFA) play at the Roscow A.L. Davies Soccer Field on Sunday afternoon.
The Mingoes scored five goals in each half, highlighted by a five-goal performance from Ronaldo Green, en route to a commanding 10-1 win.
Green scored in the 11th, 44th, 45th, 80th and 90th minutes for the Mingoes. He now leads the leagues in goals scored with 24 over nine matches.
"We came out tonight and played hard to get this win," he said. "It was great to score so many goals but it's more
important to get a win."
Green scored two goals off penalties.
Midfielder Marc Ville started the scoring fest for the Mingoes, connecting on a shot and pushing it to the back of the net just two minutes into the match.
Winger Jeremy Holland connected on a toe kick in the 15th minute to put the Mingoes up 3-0, and the rout was on.
Green, in addition to the 11th minute goal, also scored twice in the last minutes of the half to put the Mingoes up 5-0 at the break.
Out of the break, midfielder Nathan Wells scored after advancing deep in the box for an easy goal in the 58th minute.
Captain Marlon Barnes was awarded a free kick just out of the box in the 72nd minute of the match. The kick sailed over the wall and passed the
opposing goalkeeper for a goal.
In the 82nd minute, winger Jervane Turnquest had a brilliant bending attack that sailed in the upper right corner of the goal for his first goal of the season.
"It was a great goal for me," Turnquest said. "I've been looking for that all season and to get it like that was really great. This sets us up for the harder matches coming up."
The Mingoes will move on to play the Bears FC at 5 p.m. on Sunday at the Roscow A.L. Davies field.
