MEN'S SOCCER PUSHES PAST
BENTLEY 2-1
BOX SCORE
MANCHESTER, N.H. - Matt Delaney's
(Wallasey, England) goal with just over five minutes remaining
lifted Southern New Hampshire University to a 2-1 Northeast-10
men's soccer victory over Bentley College Tuesday evening at Larkin
Field. The Penmen, who are 3-1-2 over their last six games,
improved to 5-5-5 overall and 5-4-2 in Northeast-10 play.
Bentley falls to 5-11-1 and 2-9 in the league.
In a second half that saw the
Penmen outshoot Bentley 13-1, Delaney would score at the 84:15
mark. Standing in the middle of the box, Delaney took a pass
from Michael Adam (Ludlow, MA) and fired from 12
yards out. His shot glanced off the right post and over the
goal line for the eventual game-winner. Gabe
Mercier (Middleboro, MA) also assisted on the goal.
Bentley would get on the board at
the 38:18 mark following a corner kick. After a SNHU defender
cleared the ball, Austin Faroni collected it and fired a shot from
25 yards out that snuck inside the right post. The Penmen
would respond 3:46 later. Michael Adam
(Ludlow, MA) delivered a left-to-right clearing pass into the box
to Kevin Woods (Alyth, Scotland) who headed the
ball home to knot the game at 1-1. Ivan
Boaventura (Pawtucket, RI) added an assist on the play.
Southern New Hampshire owned a
commanding 17-4 shot advantage, including a 14-3 advantage in shots
on goal. Dan Pelc (Hamilton, ONT) made two
saves for the Penmen, while Bentley keeper Derek DuBois made 11
saves.
Southern New Hampshire returns to
action Friday night when it travels to Assumption College for a
7:00 match.
