Playing Baltimore County rival Franklin, on its home turf, the Towson boys soccer team got a hat-trick from Jackson Kanzler and defeated the visiting Indians, 4-2, on a beautiful fall afternoon in Towson, Thursday.

The Generals built a 4-0 lead in the contest, as Jake DelViscio also found the back of the net for Towson (4-2).

Franklin (4-3) got on the board late in the second half with an incredible bicycle kick goal by junior forward Ebert Valer. Two minutes later, Brian Alegria netted the Indians second goal.
