Hoyas men’s soccer fans can be forgiven if the names Zach Riviere, Martin Ngoh, and Kyle Linhares did not move the needle coming into the season. Linhares, a freshman midfielder, and Ngoh, a transfer forward from VCU, were stuck behind All Big East selections Jacob Montes and Derek Dodson early, while Riviere figured into the forward rotation but did not score until the Big East finals. However, since Montes, Dodson, and Big East Defensive Player of the Year Rio Hope-Gund turned pro at the conclusion of the regular season, the Hoyas have had a next man up mentality, and this was exemplified by these three, along with MAC Hermann Award semifinalist Dante Polvara, leading No. 8 Georgetown (10-1-2) to a 3-2 victory over Penn State (9-2-2) on Thursday.
