ARLINGTON, Va. – Joel Jean-Simon scored two goals to lead the Wesley College soccer team to a 3-0 victory at Marymount (Va.) on Saturday afternoon. The win was Wesley's first in Capital Athletic Conference play this season while Marymount falls to 3-9-2 overall and 2-3 in league play.
In the 42nd minute, Joshua Chelleh took a free kick that Jean-Simon directed into the back of the net for the game-winner.
