The Warriors notched their first win of 2015 last week, defeating Florida College, 4-0.

On offense, new arrivals Ivan Bakovic and Sean Whalen combined for three goals and one assist. Bakovic was inches away from posting a hat trick in his Warriors debut, when a well-struck free kick pinged off the goal post late in the game.

The defense was also strong against the Falcons. The backline held Florida College in check, while sophomore keeper Randy Chesson made nine saves to preserve the shutout.
