WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – Three goals in a seven minute stretch lifted the William & Mary men's soccer team to a 4-2 victory over UNC Asheville on Tuesday night at Martin Family Stadium. Senior Jackson Eskay finished with four points with a goal and a pair of assists, while sophomore William Eskay and freshmen Marcel Berry and Ryder Bell added goals for the Green and the Gold. With the win, the Tribe improves to 5-7-2, while the Bulldogs drop to 4-8-1.
 
W&M opened a string of three goals in seven minutes in the 14th minute when William Eskay opened the scoring. The sophomore found some space and launched a shot that was saved by Tyler Moore. However, he won the battle for the rebound and fired his second shot into the back of the empty net. His fifth goal of the season pushed the College to an early 1-0 lead.
 
Just three minutes later, older brother Jackson Eskay found the back of the net. After picking the ball up 25 yards out, the senior uncorked a shot that found its way into the right side of the goal. His fourth marker of the season gave W&M a 2-0 lead.
 
The final goal in the impressive offensive stretch came in the in the 21st minute. Jackson Eskay laid a pass back to redshirt sophomore Alfonso Speed Jr., who lofted a ball to Bell on the right side of the 18-yard box. Bell took a step and fired a shot that clanked off of the left post, but he got the home roll off of the post and the ball wound up in the back of the net. His team-leading sixth goal of the season made the score 3-0.
 
Asheville got a goal back before halftime with just 10 minutes remaining in the opening stanza. Victor Aguiar had an opening from 25-yards and he didn't pass it up. His shot ended up in the upper right corner of the net, cutting the advantage to 3-1.
 
After the majority of the second half was played in the Tribe's attacking third, the home team added its fourth of the night in the 85th minute. Jackson Eskay again started an attack, before dishing off to his left where he found Bell. Bell crossed the ball  right in front of the goal. Waiting there was Berry, who scored the exclamation point. The marker was Berry's second of the season.
 
The Bulldogs did score one goal in the final minute of the match. Grady Bradshaw lofted a ball into the box, that redshirt freshman goalkeeper Logan Jones tried to glove. Going up for the ball, Jones collided with a Bulldog player and the ball landed at the feet of Ben Chapel. Chapel cleaned up the mess and made the final score 4-2.
 
W&M dominated the pace of play from the opening kickoff and held a 24-5 advantage in shots, which also included 10-3 lead in shots on-goal. Junior Reilly Maw fired a match-high six shots, while Bell and Jackson Eskay each had five shots for the Tribe.
 
Jones, who made his first career start in goal for W&M, posted one save in his first career victory. Redshirt freshman Geoffrey Young also made his first Tribe start on defense, playing all 90 minutes.

The Green and Gold concludes the road portion of its regular season with a two-game road trip. The Tribe travels to Drexel on Saturday, Oct. 24, before heading to VCU on Wednesday, Oct. 28. Kickoffs are set for 4 p.m., and 7 p.m., respectively.
