NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. -- Westminster scored twice in the 57th minute to erase a second half deficit and defeat the Washington & Jefferson men's soccer team by a 2-1 score Wednesday evening in a Presidents' Athletic Conference match.

Neither team was able to find the back of the net in the first half. Both sides traded shots as Westminster held an 8-6 shot advantage of W&J at halftime.

The Presidents were able to breakthrough in the 52nd minute when Jason Moleiro (Rocky Hill, Conn. / Rocky Hill) scored his first collegiate goal. The unassisted tally gave W&J a lead for just a little more than five minutes when Connor Schmidt evened the score at 1-1. Westminster added the eventual game-winning goal just 29 seconds later when Tyler Caterino recorded his 10th goal of the season. 

W&J out-shot Westminster by a 16-13 margin for the game. The Presidents held a 9-5 advantage in shots on goal. W&J also held a 7-4 advantage in corner kicks. 

Moleiro led the Presidents with five of their 16 shots. 

Sophomore goalkeeper Charles Boldosser (Westminster, Md. / South Carroll) registered the full 90 minutes of time in the net for the Presidents and recorded three saves.

W&J (6-6-2 overall, 3-3-2 PAC) travels to Bethany (8-5-2 overall, 3-3-2) for a pivotal PAC match on Saturday, Oct. 22. Both the Presidents and Bison enter Saturday's match tied for fifth place (11 points) in the PAC standings with Westminster.
