BOX SCORE
MANCHESTER, N.H. - No. 5 Southern New Hampshire University
scored three goals in a span of 9:05 late in the second half to
post a 3-0 Northeast-10 men's soccer victory over No. 14 Le Moyne
College at Larkin Field Saturday afternoon. The Penmen, who
retain their hold on first place in the NE-10, improve to 11-1-2
and 7-0-2 in the league, while the Dolphins, who entered the game
second in the Northeast-10, are now 9-3-2 and 6-3-1 in the league.
With the win, SNHU extends its
unbeaten streak to 11 games (9-0-2), while the Dolphins had their
six-game unbeaten streak snapped.
In what had been a scoreless game
up to that point, SNHU got on the board in the 73rd
minute. A Le Moyne defender headed a ball back to Dolphin
keeper Steve White, but the ball sailed over White's head and into
his goal for an own goal. The Penmen made it 2-0 at the 79:53
mark when Adrian Schippers (Ashby, MA) made a spin
move around a Dolphin defender and scored, with Kevin
Woods (Alyth, Scotland) assisting. 73 seconds later,
Daniel Hernandez (Salem, NH) took a long pass from
Rob Lucas (Hooksett, NH) and one-timed a shot past
White.
Sean Lambert
(Rehoboth, MA) went the distance in goal for the Penmen and was not
forced to make a save en route to his seventh shutout of the season
and SNHU's 11th in 14 games. White made four saves
for Le Moyne. The Penmen held a 16-5 shot advantage in the
contest, including a 10-1 margin in the second half.
SNHU returns to action on Tuesday
when it hosts defending national champion Franklin Pierce
University in a 7:00 contest at Larkin Field.
