Waterbury, Conn. – A goal from junior Alvaro Sanchez in the 49th minute was the difference as the Post University men's soccer team won its fifth straight game, a 2-1 victory over Bloomfield in a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) game on Wednesday afternoon.
The Eagles – who are ranked sixth in the East Region - have won five straight matches, and are 5-1-1 on the season and 3-0-0 in the CACC.
