MANCHESTER, N.H. – No. 2 Southern New Hampshire scored three times in a span of just over three minutes midway through the second half en route to a 3-0 win over Assumption College in Northeast-10 men's soccer Saturday night at Larkin Field.  The Penmen, who posted their seventh shutout in eight games, improved to 8-1-1 overall and 4-1-1 in NE-10 play, while the Greyhounds are now 3-4-2 and 2-4-1 in the league.

The game remained scoreless until the 63:51 mark, when Michael Adam (Ludlow, Mass.) deked a defender at the top of the box and rifled a shot from 20 yards out that beat Assumption goalie Brandan Sullivan in the upper left corner.

Southern New Hampshire made it a 2-0 game 1:50 later following a foul at the top of the box.  Christian Rodriguez (Manchester, N.H.) snuck a ball in the top left corner off the direct kick.  The hosts made it 3-0 at the 66:52 mark when Jayme Kapinos (Ludlow, Mass.) lifted a ball into the box from the top right corner that glanced off Sullivan's hand and across the goal line inside the near post.  It marked the first career goal for the junior defender.

Joey Kapinos (Ludlow, Mass.) played the first 73:58 in goal for the Penmen and was forced to make one save.  Mark Painchaud (Concord, N.H.) played the rest of the way and stopped a pair of shots.  Sullivan turned aside five shots for the Greyhounds, who were outshot 22-12.

Southern New Hampshire returns to action at home Wednesday when it hosts Saint Michael's College in a 7:00 game at Larkin Field.
