SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Joey Kapinos (Ludlow, Mass.) stopped six shots en route to fourth-ranked Southern New Hampshire University's fourth straight shutout as the Penmen topped American International College 2-0 in Northeast-10 men's soccer Saturday evening at Abdow Field.  The Penmen improve to 6-0 (3-0 NE-10), their best start since the 1992 season, while the Yellow Jackets are 1-4-1 (0-2-1 NE-10).

SNHU scored the lone goal of the first half with just under six minutes remaining before intermission.  Mike Adam (Ludlow, Mass.) played a ball from left to right inside the box that connected with a surging Paul D'Angelo (Gloucester, Mass.), who beat AIC keeper James Taber low.

The Penmen would strike again with just over 20 minutes remaining.  Adam took a long pass on the left side and delivered a lob pass into the box.  Taber overplayed the pass and Danny Hernandez (Salem, N.H.) knocked it home to make it 2-0.

Taber turned aside eight shots as the Penmen outshot the Yellow Jackets 16-9.  Southern New Hampshire has not allowed a goal in its last 439:32.

Southern New Hampshire returns to action Wednesday night when it hosts UMass Lowell in a 7:00 contest at Larkin Field.
