Bridgeport, Conn.-The University of Bridgeport men's soccer team scored five second half goals on its way to a 6-2 non-conference win over the visiting East Stroudsburg University Warriors in the Purple Knights' 2018 home finale on a windy and chilly Wednesday night at Knights Field.

Also scoring goals for the Purple Knights on Wednesday were freshmen Tom Godden (Leeds, England) and Oscar Facey (Trangsund, Sweden).
