OTTAWA - Ryerson Rams forward Jamie Baker stormed off the bench with a purpose as he pocketed two second half goals to lift the Rams men's soccer team to a perfect 5-0 start with a 4-1 win over the Carleton Ravens Sunday afternoon.

BOXSCORE

After a strong defensive start from both squads, Rams star Raheem Rose was gifted a glorious opportunity via penalty kick. Rams senior Luka Lee blew past Raven defenders on the sprint, leaving them no choice but to haul him down in the clear. The foul set the table for Rose, who made no mistake on the kick for his fourth goal of the young campaign. The Rose tally sent the Rams to the locker room with a 1-0 lead after the first half.

After a dismal first half, the Ravens came out for the second forty-five with much more effectiveness, which lead to a number of quality chances early. Their greatest opportunity of the game came early in the half off a corner chance. Rams goalkeeper Praveen Ahilan made an incredible sprawling save off of a header in front, to secure the Rams 1-0 lead for the time being.

Just moments later, Rams rookie Robert Boskovic headed home his first OUA goal to double the Rams lead early in the second.

Baker got the nod to hit the pitch from head coach Filip Prostran shortly after the Rams second goal. He showed promise early after taking a solid cross from Jackson Tooke and ringing it off the bar with a header. Just moments later, Rose was fouled a few yards outside the box, which lead to an in-direct free kick for Adam Hemati. The Hemati cross was timed perfectly by Baker, who headed home his first of the afternoon and the Rams third of the game.

Minutes later the Rams put on display some remarkable ball movement. Three Rams made quick touches of the ball before finding Baker in the box for the score. Baker's second of the afternoon rounded out the Rams scoring, as he made quick work of his limited playing time on Sunday.

The Rams entered their contest against the Ravens on Sunday with four consecutive clean sheets to start the year. With a 4-0 lead and time quickly winding down, the Rams looked promised to add another clean sheet match to their record. However, a late Rams foul put Ravens defender Julian Piccioli alone in the box, who made quick victim of what was an unbeaten Ahilan up until that point. The Piccoli marker was his first of the year and the Ravens lone goal in the lopsided affair.

With the 4-1 win, the Rams improved to a spotless 5-0 record to start the year and will look to add a sixth victory to the win column when they take on the Toronto Varsity Blues on Sunday, September 18th at Varsity Stadium.
