About The Falcons
Lackawanna College (4-1-0) is off to its best start in program history, and had won four in a row for the first time in program history before Saturday's setback against Mercer County CC. In that game, the Falcons defended valiantly, but were undone by a first half penalty, and then three late goals in the second half to make the final margin look a little more lopsided (4-0) than it truly was through 75 minutes. The Vikings were dominant in possession, but the Falcons managed to hang tough thanks to some stellar defense and goalkeeping from Jahdale Givans (Bronx, NY).
 
The Falcons have outscored their opponents 13-8 in five games this year, averaging 2.6 goals per contest. The Falcons average just shy of 20 shots per contest, and usually put a little over 50% of those shots on target. Nine of the 13 Falcons goals have had assists attached to them this season.
 
Robert Jarvis Humphreys (Soufriere, Dominica) leads the team with six goals on the season, three coming in a first-half hat-trick performance against Delaware County CC.
