STEUBENVILLE, Ohio -- The Washington & Jefferson men's soccer team snapped a three-game scoreless streak but fell short at Franciscan 6-1.
 
The Barons (3-1-1) struck first with a tally in the fifth minute of action.

Late in the first half, Junior Mensah (Chantilly, Va./Broad Run) laced a cross from the left side inside the 18-yard box. Alex Molina (Bowie, Md./Reservoir) went to play the ball off his chest but was pushed down from behind, awarding the Presidents a penalty kick.
 
Mensah converted on the PK for his first goal of the season in the game's 42nd minute.
 
Franciscan found a third goal in the final minute of the half to carry a 3-1 advantage into the halftime break.
 
Joey Feola (Carnegie, Pa./Central Catholic) fired shots on frame in the second half in the 72nd and 78th minutes.  He led the Presidents in shots (4) and shots on goal (2).
 
The Barons notched another three goals in the 53rd, 57th and 86th minutes to come away with the 6-1 victory.
