STANDOUT PERFORMERS

• Chibout's goal was his third of the season.
• Senior goalkeeper Daniel Milton (Ajax, Ontario) made two saves for his seventh shutout of the season.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• After a deadlocked start to the first half, Southern New Hampshire looked to have the first goal when sophomore Tom Marriott (Nottingham, England) sent a cross from right to left across the box that senior Alex Satrustegui (Pamplona, Spain) deflected in at the left post, but the linesman signaled offsides.
• The Penmen had a pair of good chances right in front within the first 10 minutes of the second half, but junior Michael Goncalves (Ludlow, Mass.) and redshirt-sophomore Andre Pereira (Cheshire, Conn.) both hit their shots just over the crossbar.
• SNHU again looked to take the lead in the 68^th minute, but Marriott's penalty kick clanged off the post.
• The Penmen were snake-bitten again in the 82^nd minute, as Satrustegui's penalty kick missed the mark.
• The third time was a charm for SNHU, with Chibout booting a blast into the back of the net on his PK opportunity at the 83:22 mark.

• The Penmen owned an 18-3 advantage in shots, including 12-1 in the second half.
