HUNTINGDON, Pa.- The Juniata men's soccer team lost to Drew, 7-0, Saturday afternoon at Gibbel Stadium on Senior Day.
The Rangers broke through two minutes into the game, as a back-heel volley through the defense gave them a one on one with the keeper and the Ranger forward finished to put the Eagles in an early 1-0 deficit.

In the 16thminute, an incisive through ball from Nick Sinapius (Phoenixville, Pa. / Phoenixville) on the left wing found Wyatt Page (King of Prussia, Pa. / Shipley) in the box. Page mishit his shot a bit and the Drew keeper scooped up the shot.
Eight minutes later, Drew doubled their lead.
In the 35thminute, Jacob Grove (Harrisburg, Pa. / Central Dauphin HS) rose up and headed a ball towards the back post, but the Ranger keeper snagged it out the air.
