Senior Kenji Kobayashi, a midfielder and captain of the men’s soccer team, suffered a season-ending concussion in practice before the Bears began official play for the year. Since that time, Kobayashi has needed to alter his plans for his senior year both on and off the field.

Senior forward Dylan Roman scored two goals, the first coming 16 seconds into the second half, as the No. 6 Washington University men’s soccer team defeated the Greenville College Panthers 3-1 on Saturday at home. The Bears are now 6-0, and Roman has scored in five straight games, with six goals overall this season.

The Washington University men’s soccer team may still be looking to improve this season, but its performance in the first four games have proven to be a fine start. With a 3-0 win over Rhodes College on Saturday night in Memphis, Tenn., the Bears have moved to 4-0 on the season and are outscoring their opponents 8-2 so far.
