Lions Stymie Men’s Soccer, 3-0
LEICESTER, Mass. – Becker College fell to Eastern Nazarene College, 3-0 in non conference men's soccer action Wednesday afternoon at Alumni Field. The win lifts the Lions record to 1-4, while the Hawks fall to 0-7.
The Lions got on the board in the 14th minute when Scott Hanson (Middletown Spring, Vt.) took control of a bouncing ball in front of the Hawks net and chipped it past Becker goalkeeper Tim MacDonald (Holden, Mass.) for the 1-0 lead.
The score remained the same until the 52nd minute when Luke Wooster (Quincy, Mass.) set up Jacob Mason (Middletown, R.I.) for his 2nd goal of the season. Hanson added his second goal of the game in the 72nd minute when he broke down the middle all alone, making the final 3-0.
Eastern Nazarene goalkeeper Jake Johnson (Danbury, Conn.) played the majority of the game without facing a shot on net. James MacFarland (Quincy, Mass.) played the final 9:33 of the second half to help preserve the shutout win for the Lions. Eastern Nazarene returns to the pitch on Saturday, September 21 when they travel to CCC rival Curry College at 1:30 p.m.
Tim MacDonald turned in another gutsy performance, making 13 saves. Becker will try to turn things around on Saturday when host Colby-Sawyer at 12:30 p.m.
