BRIDGEPORT, Conn. - The Caldwell College men's soccer team lost to the University of Bridgeport, 6-0 in a non-conference game at Knights Field Thursday night. The defeat gives the Cougars a 3-2 record on the season, while the Knights improve to 3-1.

Bridgeport scored three times in a seven-minute span midway through the first half to take control of the game. Goals in the 49th, 68th and 81st minutes allowed the Knights to hand the Cougars the lopsided loss.

Freshman Alex Cunha (Kearny, NJ/Kearny) recorded one save in 34 minutes. Danny Hernandez and Nick Tolman shared the shutout, with Hernandez making the lone save for Bridgeport.
