Eagles Outlast Men's Soccer, 1-0
NASHUA, N.H. – An Erick Germano (Lowell, Mass.) goal off a Michael Ottman (Kennebunkport, Maine) pass 4:22 into the second half stood up as the eventual game-winner as host Daniel Webster held off Becker, 1-0 in a New England Collegiate Conference men's soccer matchup Saturday at Eagle Field.
Germano took Ottman's cross pass after a corner kick and headed home his team-leading fourth of the season and the Eagle team defense held the Hawks to three total shots as DWC improved to 6-5-1 overall and grabbed their first NECC victory of the season (1-2). The Eagles also surpassed last year's win total with the victory and topped the Hawks (0-12, 0-2 NECC) for the fifth straight time.
Despite the one-goal difference, DWC finished with a 22-3 total shots advantage (9-2 on goal) and added a 7-4 advantage in corner kicks.
Sean Hamilton (Brookline, N.H.) made two saves for the Eagles for his fifth shutout of the season, moving to within two of tying the program single season record.
Tim MacDonald (Holden, Mass.) made eight saves for the Hawks.
Matthew Ballou and Alexandre Bresse notched shots on goal for Becker. Tyler Guarino tallied three shots on goal for DWC.
The Eagles get right back to action on Monday afternoon when they visit Regis in a NECC matchup in a rematch of last year's NECC quarterfinal, won by the Pride.
Becker visits Southern Vermont for a NECC matchup on Tuesday at 4:00 p.m.
