FREDERICK, Md.--The Hood College men's soccer team fell to nationally ranked York College 4-0 in the first-ever Capital Athletic Conference contest in school history Monday afternoon at Thomas Athletic Field.

York (3-0-1, 1-0-0 CAC), which came into the game ranked eighth in the country and fresh off a 1-1 tie with top-ranked and two-time defending national champion Messiah last Thursday, scored twice in both halves to seal the victory over the Blazers (1-3-0, 0-1-0).

Akeem Cyprian opened the scoring in the 30th minute when he found the net off an assist from Andrew Wheeler. Wheeler scored just over nine minutes later to give the visitors a 2-0 halftime lead.

Seth Fornwalt and Drew Dutrow added goals in the second half.

Freshman Shawn Fernholz made seven saves for the Blazers.

Hood returns to action Thursday when it visits Mount Aloysius College for a non-conference match beginning at 4:30 p.m.
