THROGGS NECK, N.Y. – The Maritime Men's Soccer team picked up its fifth-straight victory on Wednesday evening as the team knocked off the Vaughn Warriors by the score of 5-0 on Reinhart Field.
 
The fifth-straight overall victory is also the team's third-straight shutout win, as the team's shutout streak has now reached 345:43, setting a modern-program record (since 2004), after the previous mark had been 307:10, set back by the 2011 Skyline Conference Championship team.
 
Earning the win in goal was senior Karl Weber (Northport, N.Y./Northport), who turned away a pair of shots against the Warriors in 76:51 of playing time. Freshman Dillon Quinlan-Huertas (Norwalk, Conn./Brien McMahon) made his collegiate debut in goal and did not see a shot in the final 13:09 of action.
 
Senior Renato Chira-Farfan (Miraflores, Peru/Mahopac (N.Y.)) got the scoring started as he led the team with five shots on the night. After the opening goal, junior Corey Cartano (Raleigh, N.C./Sanderson) picked up his first career goal before halftime. Senior Kevin Ferreira (Centereach, N.Y./St. John the Baptist) netted his first of the season, while freshmen Lucas Antenucci (Delmar, N.Y./Bethlehem) and Jack Feehan (Massapequa, N.Y./Farmingdale) both recorded their first career tallies to cap off the scoring.
 
After the two sides played evenly throughout the opening 37:53 of the contest, Maritime broke through as Chira-Farfan scored his fourth of the season off of a touch pass by Cartano, after being led into the box by Feehan.
 
Cartano picked up a goal after the ball deflected off the Vaughn netminder, as it was senior Sheick Wattara (Bronx, N.Y./Urban Assembly for Math & Science) to earn the assist on the second Privateer strike of the match.
 
At halftime, Maritime led by a 2-0 mark on the scoreboard, while also leading in shots by a 10-3 margin. The Privateers were also called offsides on five occasions in the opening 45 minutes.
 
In the second half, Ferreira took advantage as he forced a turnover and buried the ball for an unassisted tally and the team's third goal of the match in the 57th minute.
 
Antentucci added a goal in the 64th minute off a pass from senior Colton Gallt (Plainfield, Ill./Plainfield South), while Feehan added the knockout blow in the 78th minute.
 
Final stats saw the Privateers take 25 shots through the entirety of the match, with 12 coming on target. Maritime also took eight corner kicks, with six coming in the second half, while being called offsides a total of seven times in the match.
 
Maritime (6-2-0, 1-0-0 Skyline) will face a tough task on Friday, when the team plays host to Sage at 5 p.m. on Reinhart Field as part of a doubleheader with the women's team, which takes place later that evening at 7:30 p.m.
