Sanborn, NY - In a game that went down to the final minutes, the Herkimer College Men's Soccer team secured their first win of the 2021 Spring season with a 2-1 win over Niagara County Community College on Friday afternoon in Sanborn, NY. The win evens up the Generals record at 1-1-1 for the season.

It stayed that way all the way until 8 minutes left in the contest when Christ Valle (Highland Mills, NY) put in the game winner on an assist from Charles. Goalkeeper Manabu Takahashi (Osaka, Japan) got the win in goal for Herkimer, making 4 saves in the win.
