LEICESTER, Mass. – Newbury College defeated Becker College 2-1 in New England Collegiate Conference men's soccer action Saturday afternoon at Alumni Field. The win lifts the Nighthawks record to 3-6 (1-0 NECC), while the Hawks remain winless at 0-10 (0-1 NECC).

Becker got on the board in the 29th minute when Ryan Castro (Shirley, Mass.) collected an indirect kick and planted in the back for the Nighthawks net for a 1-0 advantage. Newbury would tie the game in the 32nd minute when a Becker defender headed a clear attempt into his own net. Newbury would score what proved to be the final and deciding goal of the game in the 42nd minute when Christian Rodriguez (Central Falls, R.I.) connected with David Linder (Revere, Mass.) in front of the Hawks net for the 2-1 lead.
