DeRoza Shines as New Hampshire Hit Six in Historic Victory
|
Bermudian forward Xahvi DeRoza was among the standout performers as the University of New Hampshire men's soccer team produced an attacking clinic, sweeping past New Haven 6-2 at Wildcat Stadium.
In the first-ever competitive meeting between the programmes, the Wildcats turned on the style to record their highest single-match goal tally in at least 19 years.
Six different players found the back of the net in a relentless team display. Graduate midfielder Miguel Soto Gonzalez spearheaded the attack with a goal and two assists, while sophomore DeRoza made a decisive impact with a three-point night of his own, bagging a goal and setting up another.
Sophomore Mikael Pulkkinen got the scoring under way by opening his collegiate account, before senior Daniel Firek added his first goal in Wildcat colours. Junior Cabot McLaren netted his second of the season and freshman Augie Hoelscher notched his first collegiate strike, with senior David Davila contributing a pair of assists.
The emphatic victory improves New Hampshire to 3-1-1 on the season—stretching their unbeaten run to four matches (3-0-1)—while New Haven slip to 1-4-0 overall.

Bermudian Forward Manning seals Future Pro Move
|
Bermudian forward Chazz Manning has officially linked up with UK-based football development programme Future Pro for the 2026-27 campaign.
The attacking prospect caught the eye during an impressive individual showing at the 2026 Bermuda Triangle Cup, where he represented Future Pro on home soil and established himself as one of the tournament’s standout performers.
Manning was a constant menace for opposing backlines throughout the competition, consistently finding the net—including a crucial semi-final strike against Azores outfit São Miguel—and carving out opportunities in the attacking third.
His sharp movement and composure under pressure helped propel Future Pro through a testing tournament run, culminating in them clinching the championship title at the Flora Duffy South Field Stadium.
Those dynamic displays have now opened the door to the next stage of his development, with Manning joining the academy programme full-time for the new season.
"We’re excited to welcome him to Future Pro and look forward to seeing what he can achieve throughout the season," the organisation confirmed in a statement announcing the move.

Sharrieff & Howard Fall Short in Six-Goal Thriller against Manhattan
|
Khari Sharrieff and his Howard University team-mates got off the mark for the season with a pair of goals, but were ultimately outgunned 4-2 by the Manhattan Jaspers in Riverdale, New York.
The Bison endured a nightmare start on the road, shell-shocked by a relentless Manhattan attack that struck twice inside the opening seven minutes to build an early 2-0 cushion.
Howard slowly gathered composure and halved the deficit in the 21st minute, capitalising on a costly defensive mix-up from the Jaspers to make it 2-1.
Manhattan reasserted control soon after the restart. Cristiano Marsilii bagged his second goal of the contest at the 41-minute mark to restore the hosts' two-goal buffer at 3-1.
The visitors refused to lie down, however. Junior forward Daniil Kaban—an All-NEC selection from Kharkiv, Ukraine—stepped up to calmly slot home a penalty moments later, setting up a frantic finish at 3-2.
Yet any hopes of a dramatic Bison comeback were extinguished in the closing stages, as Manhattan turned up the pressure and found a decisive fourth goal to put the result beyond doubt.

Late Strike as Donawa and North Carolina Rescue Draw at Cal
|
Bermudian forward Jace Donawa and his University of North Carolina team-mates struck seven minutes from time to salvage a hard-fought 2-2 draw against California.
The Tar Heels dominated the opening 40 minutes and deservedly broke the deadlock when Riley Berge found the net. However, the hosts produced a rapid turnaround just before the interval, striking twice in the final four minutes of the half to stun Carolina and take a 2-1 lead into the break.
The second period developed into a scrappy, contested battle, but the visitors’ persistence eventually told in the 83rd minute. Following a corner, Jonathan Luna Sabando fired in a bouncing delivery that Joschi Schelb cleverly redirected home to restore parity.
Both sides reached double figures in attempts, registering five shots on target apiece. North Carolina spent the majority of the night pressing on the front foot, earning nine corners to Cal’s four to secure a well-earned share of the spoils away from home.

Bermuda Pair Helped Thomas College Win Opener
|
Bermudian pair Tre Burgess and Justin Sukdeo helped Thomas College open their regular season in gritty fashion, securing a hard-fought 1-0 victory over the Western New England University Golden Bears at Suprenant Field.
After a tightly contested opening 45 minutes where neither side could find a breakthrough, the Terriers seized the initiative straight from the restart.
Adam Elkott broke the deadlock barely a minute into the second half, latching onto an opening in the 47th minute to slot home what proved to be the decisive goal.
Burgess started in midfield and delivered an energetic shift in the engine room, while defender Sukdeo also contributed significantly to a disciplined defensive effort.
Western New England pushed aggressively for an equaliser in the closing stages, unleashing nine second-half attempts. However, the Terriers backline stood firm alongside goalkeeper Jamie Fischer, who pulled off four key saves to record a clean sheet and ensure Thomas College came away with all three points.
