Nashua - Senior Kagan Sinclair's (Marblehead, Mass.) unassisted
goal with 31:35 remaining in regulation proved to be the game
winner as the New England College men's soccer team shut out host
Daniel Webster, 1-0 in a regional matchup Monday at Eagle
Field.
Sinclair knocked in an indirect rebound of his initial shot that
was stopped by Eagle sophomore keeper Joe Keene (Bristol, N.H.).
The ball ricocheted off an Eagle defender directly back to
Sinclair, who buried a low 10-yard kick to the left corner.
The win halted Daniel Webster's program and all time school record
seven-game win streak as they moved to 7-3 overall. New England
College halted a three-game winless streak and evened its mark at
6-6-1.
The Eagles struggled to generate an offensive rhythm all afternoon,
managing nine total shots but only two would test Pilgrim junior
net minder Pat Harkin (Scituate, R.I.), who would register his
second shutout of the season.
The Pilgrims kept Keene busy in the opening half, putting five
shots on goal but Keene sparkled, finishing with nine stops on the
day.
NEC walked away with a 15-9 total shots advantage on the
afternoon.
The Eagles close out their three-game home stand Thursday as they
host former GNAC rival Emerson in a regional contest kicking off at
