Junior midfielder Rubem Miranda played a prominent role in men’s soccer’s two wins over the weekend, scoring a goal and an assist in both games.

In Malone’s 2-1 win over Ohio Dominican on Friday  Miranda set up the first goal by finding Sam Tonelli with a cross and then scored the winning goal with a 25-yards strike that bounded off the crossbar and in. Miranda’s strong form carried over to the Pioneers’ 5-0 victory over Lake Erie College on Sunday. Once again, it was Miranda’s cross that set up the game’s first goal and he would add a goal of his own in the second half to finish the weekend with two goals, two assists and six points over two games.

Malone entered the weekend at 0-4 overall (0-3 GLIAC) but fought back into the conference race now sitting at 2-4 overall (2-3 GLIAC).
