COBLESKILL, N.Y. – The Wells College men's soccer team set two program records on Saturday, Oct. 4, 2014, scoring seven goals in a shutout victory over the Fighting Tigers of SUNY Cobleskill. With the win, the Express (7-3-1, 3-1 NEAC) have tied a program record for consecutive victories with five to their credit.
