Explorers Dominate Early
La Salle's men's soccer squad kicked off the 2026 campaign in impressive fashion, routing Lehigh 4‑1 on home turf.
The Explorers struck early, with senior Kyrese Lynch‑Bailey and junior Alberto Esquivel Meza finding the net before the break, turning a 1‑0 deficit into a 2‑1 lead at halftime.
After the interval, Gabe Faust, making his debut for the club, added another goal, and Alexandru Zama capped the scoring with a powerful strike that sealed a 4‑1 final margin.
Between the attacks, graduate student Maximilian Retzer stood tall between the posts, making five saves and preserving the lead despite Lehigh's 15‑11 edge in shots.
The victory sets the stage for the team's next test, a home clash with FDU at McCarthy Stadium on Monday evening, where the Explorers hope to build on the momentum.
