Hawks
Boxscore
Lowell, Mass.
- Junior forward Shaun Keeley (Woburn,
Mass.) had a goal and an assist the Skyhawks and UMass Lowell
played to a 3-3 deadlock Saturday afternoon in a Northeast-10
Conference men's soccer clash at Cushing Field.
River Hawk Matt Dubois opened the scoring in the seventh minute
when he tapped in a rebound off a Brandon McFarlane save of a
Stephen Potcner shot.
Stonehill knotted the score in the 22nd minute when junior
Ben Irzyk (Wakefield, R.I.) took a touch from
Keeley on the right side of the box, turned and volleyed a shot
into the top left corner of the goal.
Dubois gave the River Hawks a 2-1 lead just over two minutes
later when he beat a Stonehill defender on the left side and bent
his right-footed attempt inside the far post.
Jamie Wangia gave UMass Lowell a 3-1 cushion just 11 minutes
later when his header off a volley from Rudy Kocandrle beat
McFarlane.
Keeley cut the deficit to 3-2 five minutes into the second half,
when his header off a scramble in the box following a
Michael Bridges (Sandwich, Mass) free kick found
the back of the net.
Stonehill drew even with just six minutes remaining, when
sophomore midfielder Todd Shigo (Naples, Maine)
launched a free kick from the left side to sophomore Tyler
Hebert (Rockland, Mass.) on the right side of the six-yard
box, who settled it and fired home his first goal of the
season.
The River Hawks outshot Stonehill 23-16 and McFarlane stopped 14
shots for the Skyhawks.
With the tie Stonehill moves to 4-9-3 overall and 1-9-2 in the
Conference and hosts Merrimack Tuesday at 3:30 for their last home
game of the season.
