SCORE
COLCHESTER, Vt. - A goal by senior Adrian
Schippers (Ashby, Mass.) just past the 60-minute mark
lifted fifth-ranked Southern New Hampshire University to a 1-0
Northeast-10 men's soccer victory over Saint Michael's College at
Duffy Field. The Penmen, who have now won six in a row and
are unbeaten in their last 11 games (10-0-1), improved to 11-1-1
overall and 8-0-1 in the NE-10, while the Purple Knights are 5-4-3
and 1-4-3 in the league.
After a scoreless first half,
Schippers scored at the 60:09 mark when he took a pass from
Ethan Lapierre (Manchester, N.H.) and netted his
team-leading ninth goal of the season. Michael
Adam (Ludlow, Mass.) also assisted on the goal. It also
marks Schippers' sixth game-winner of 2009.
SNHU goalkeeper Sean
Lambert (Rehoboth, Mass.) made one save en route to his
seventh shutout of the season and 20th of his
career. He moved into sole possession of fourth place on
SNHU's career shutout list and sits just one shutout shy of second
place. Saint Michael's keeper Jason Burnett turned aside six
shots as the Penmen outshot the Purple Knights 16-5, including an
11-1 advantage in the first half.
Southern New Hampshire returns to
action Wednesday night when it hosts crosstown rival Saint Anselm
College in a 7:00 contest at Larkin Field.
