Midfielder Clerdjevinsky Clerjuste hammered home two goals to boost the University of The Bahamas men's soccer team to a 4-2 victory over Renegades F.C. in the Bahamas Men's Soccer League (BMSL) action on Sunday.

Playing at the Roscow A.L. Davies Soccer Fields, UB got a goal each from winger Philip Pilgrim and forward Nahum Johnson to propel them to the top of the BMSL table. It was their 10th win in the BMSL this season as they sport a 10-1-3 win/loss/draw record.

Pilgrim said they needed this win with two important games remaining on the schedule.

"We had to find the right positions and keep pressing," Pilgrim said. "It was an important three points for the team as we are back at the top of the table. We needed those points at the top. It's a little breathing space but we have to keep going."

UB wasted no time as left back Junior Kelly launched the ball from their defensive third to captain Ronaldo Green who passed it to Clerjuste who hammered it past the goalkeeper in the first minute of the match.

Green was the architect of another goal. This time it was in the 26th minute when he passed the ball to Pilgrim who took two touches for the well-placed finish to put UB up 2-0.

Renegades got on the scoresheet from a UB own goal before halftime. The score was 2-1 at the intermission.

Johnson was fouled in the 18-yard box when he cut the ball back in the 66th minute. He stepped up for the penalty-kick and put it away to put his team up 3-1.

"It was good as it gave the team a little momentum. I might have been a little absent in the game but once I get my moments, I show what I can do," Johnson said.

UB conceded another goal in the 78th minute to make the game interesting as UB led 3-2. Renegades kept trying for the equalizer but struggled to break past UB's defense. UB won a

free-kick about 40 yards from goal in the 88th minute. Clerjuste stepped up to take it and he put the ball over the goalkeeper's head and into the back of the net to put UB ahead 4-2.

UB conceded a penalty-kick two minutes later but goalkeeper Antonio Beckford saved the shot comfortably as UB held on for the 4-2 victory.

"I knew I was going to save it," Beckford said. "It is a given fact as I saved five out of six penalties last season so I was not scared at all."

UB has two weeks off of match play and two more games left in league play.

They will suit up again for a clash against Cavalier F.C. at 4.30 p.m. Sunday, April 12 at the Roscow A.L. Davies Soccer Fields.
