The Rams took the -eld on Sept. 26 against Worcester State.


After a scoreless first 30 minutes, the Rams struck first. The goal was scored by sophomore Andy Segura, his second goal of the season.

The Rams never looked back from this point on. Framingham put another one up on the score board in the 43rd minute.


This time it was Cardeiro who netted it, his fifth of the season. Cardeiro headed a cross from junior Simon Appiah into the back of the net, making it 2-0 going into the half.


The Rams would add one more in the 83rd minute, when sophomore Geraldo Ramirez scored his first goal of the season.
