WATERBURY, Conn. – Senior Joe Baccielo (Stratford, Conn.) scored three goals to become the all-time leading point scorer in Post University men's soccer history as the No. 13 Eagles trounced Felician 6-0 on Tuesday at LaMoy Field. The senior scored three goals on the day for his third career hat trick.
 
"Joey is invaluable to us. He has a tremendous ability to create opportunities in different ways from all areas of the field," lauded head coach Ted Haley. "He's a great captain and is very professional. We are very lucky to have him."
 
Baccielo put the Eagles on the board early as he headed in a cross from sophomore Raphael Moura (Danbury, Conn.) in the 15^th minute. Sophomore Francisco Sastre (Sao Paolo, Brazil) found him in the 39^th minute with a short pass in front of the goal to put Post ahead 2-0. Baccielo scored his third of the game and team-high eighth of the season in the 50^th minute on another cross from Sastre.
 
The scoring didn't stop as junior Terrell Whitting (Naugatuck, Conn.) scored two straight goals. The first one in the 57^th minute off a long pass from senior Jon Dzurilla (Torrington, Conn.) that was misplayed by the Felician goalkeeper. He added another in the 60^th minute off a rebound from a shot by senior Ani Lekaj (Sherman, Conn.) from a Dzurilla corner kick.
 
Freshman Patrick DeAngelo (Danbury, Conn.) passed ahead to Moura for the final tally in the 79^th minute.
 
Post dominated possession and outshot the Golden Falcons 22-5 in the game and 12-1 in the first half. Senior Andre Lindsay (Clarendon, Jamaica) made two saves in the victory.
 
Baccielo came into the match with 68 career points one back of Maurice Johnson (2005-09) on the career list. He now holds the record with 74 points.
 
"We've had some great players here and it's a credit to him for being the top guy. Joey has put in a tremendous amount of work to get to this point," added Haley.
 
The six goals by Post ties its all-time Division II single-game record. The Eagles defeated Holy Family 6-2 in the 2008 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Championship.
 
Post is back in action on Sunday, Oct. 13 at home against Philadelphia. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m.
