Boxscore
Easton, Mass.
- The Skyhawks used a strong defense and timely scoring
from junior captain Shaun Keeley (Woburn, Mass.)
to propel Stonehill past a physical Briarcliffe squad 3-0.
The game was tight for much of the first half with each team
trading shots. The Skyhawks finally broke through in the
40th minute when Keeley took a Michael
White (Lisbon, N.H.) pass and put it into the back of the
net for a 1-0 lead.
Just five minutes later a Briarcliffe foul inside the six gave
Keeley a penalty kick, which he nailed home. The half would
end 2-0 in favor of Stonehill.
The score remained 2-0 until the 73rd minute when
Mark Bolster (Narragansett, R.I.) took a
Stephen Day (North Haven, Conn.) cross and headed
it in to give the Skyhawks a three goal lead.
Keeper Brandon McFarlane (Norwich, Conn.)
turned away seven Seahawk shots in match that featured eight yellow
cards and 42 fouls between the two squads.
With the win the Skyhawks improve to 2-2 on the season.
Stonehill next takes the field when they play host to Queens at
Skyhawk field on Saturday, September 20.
