RALEIGH – Second-ranked NC State men's soccer (6-0-1, 0-0-1 ACC) dominated William & Mary (0-4-2) by a 7-0 score this evening to close out its opening-home stint.
It was a big day for the NC State men's soccer program as the team jumped up from No. 5 to No. 2 in the United Soccer Coaches Poll, marking a new program-best, for the second time this season. Racking up seven goals over William & Mary to make it two-straight seasons the program has recorded a 7-0 match.
Continuing to wow the nation, Donavan Phillip scored four goals in just 25 minutes in the first half. His first goal was tallied in under three minutes from the blow of the starting whistle.
Coming out of the halftime, Max Ogawa got things rolling in the second frame, scoring in the 50th minute. He added on for a brace in the 69th minute when Aidan Payne brought the ball up the field by himself and fed Ogawa to touch around the goalkeeper and find the back of the net.
Cleaning up an attack made by Ogawa in the 83rd minute, Caden Tolentino struck from above the top of the box to soar his shot into the upper corner of the goal and tack on the seventh goal of the evening.
Assisting scoring efforts were made by Taig Healy (twice), Riley Moloney (twice), Aidan Payne (twice), Tyler Caton, Justin McLean, and Max Ogawa.
The combined efforts of the defensive line and goalkeepers Logan Erb and Sam Terranova, each making two saves, the Pack logged its seventh-consecutive shut-out of the season.
Freshman defender Moritz Weber also made his collegiate debut, logging 45 minutes on the back line.

The Pack makes its first road trip this Friday to Boston College, moving back into conference action.
