The University of The Bahamas soccer team couldn't help but score against The Cavalier Football Club Sunday in Bahamas Football Association action at The Roscow A.L. Davies Field.
The UB Mingoes now sport a 2-0-1 record in BFA play after the 10-1 win that included two hat tricks—midfielders Ronaldo Green and Kevin Thomas.
Thomas couldn't wait to score for The Mingoes and found the net in the second minute of the match to give the side an early start.
Five minutes later at the seven minute mark, O'Bryan Hinds found the net a well to put The Mingoes up 2-0.
Midfielder Ronaldo Green had back to back goals—including a penalty—at the 18th and 22nd minutes to give The Mingoes a 4-0 lead.
Thomas scored again on a pass from Stanley Grand Pierre in the 28th minute for his second goal and The Mingoes 5-0 lead.
Grand Pierre didn't want to be left out and got his own goal at the 30th minute and The Mingoes took the commanding 6-0 lead. Grand Pierre assisted on five goal as well for The Mingoes.
Thomas completed his hat trick in the 40th minute off a pass from Green to go up 7-0 and they carried that to the half.
Coming out of the half, Mingoes skipper Marlon Barnes scored to give the side the 8-0 lead in the 57th minute.
Cavalier was able to score three minutes later but it was not enough for the side.
Jovial Forbes scored his first goal as a Mingoe in the 77th minute and Green got another score for the Mingoes for the 10-1 win
Green said the match was a great tune up as the side gets ready for what he called the biggest match of the season: Western Warriors.
"This win gives us a lot of confidence heading in that match against Western Warriors," he said. "We were able to finish a lot of the chances we had out there today and I think that is something we build on heading into that match."
He added the team didn't finish on many opportunities as well. "I think the team took a very casual approach to the game and that allowed them to have a few opportunities," he said. "We had to wake up and play the game when coach told us to do our jobs."
The Mingoes are scheduled to play The Western Warriors 3 p.m. Sunday at Roscow A.L. Davies Field.
