Three First-Half Goals Lead Harding to Victory at Newman

WICHITA, Kan. – Scoring three goals in the first half of a game for the first time in almost four years, the Harding men's soccer team broke the seal on the win column for the 2022 season with a 4-1 victory over Newman in GAC/MIAA action Thursday night.

Harding (1-6-1, 1-1-1) doubled its goal output for the season by netting four against Newman (0-7-1, 0-2-0).

Senior defender Josh Fulton scored his first goal of the season to open Harding's account in the 16th minute with senior midfielder Stefano Silva providing the assist.

Silva scored his first in the 32nd minute with senior midfielder Camilo Porto assisting. Porto then made it 3-0 with the 35th minute with his first goal.

It was Harding's first three-goal first half since scoring three in a 4-3 victory over Williams Baptist on Sept. 28, 2018.

Newman scored early in the second half, but Harding answered with a goal from redshirt freshman defender Christian Stoner in the 73rd minute.

In addition to the goals, Harding set season highs in shots (15), shots on goal (11) and corner kicks (6).

Harding plays the second game of its Kansas road trip Saturday against 22nd-ranked Fort Hays State. The game begins at 1 p.m. in Hays, Kansas.
