(Canton, N.Y.)- The SUNY Canton men's soccer team broke out of an early season scoring slump with a 5-2 win over Vermont Technical College Saturday afternoon in Canton.

Repton Abrahams (Brooklyn, N.Y.) made it 2-0 eight minutes later when he blasted a hard shot off the left post and into the net. Hicks scored again in the 36th minute from Abrahams and the Roos led 3-1 at halftime.
Bismark Ansah (Bronx, N.Y.) increased the lead back to two goals scoring in the 57th minute from Prince Sabatto (Saratoga Springs, N.Y.) and then after a Vermont Tech goal Sabatto scored from Moubarak Agoro (Bronx, N.Y.) for the final score.
Eamon Case (Plattsburgh, N.Y.) played the first half and didn't make a save and Chris Hill (Watertown, N.Y.) played the second half and had two saves.
