WENHAM, Mass. – Freshman Luckson Dambo (Belmont, Mass.) recorded a pair of goals in the first half to help the Gordon College men's soccer team pick up a 4-0 win over Wentworth Institute of Technology Saturday afternoon in Commonwealth Coast Conference play.
Gordon had the early advantage with a pair of corner kicks 12 seconds apart and a shot which was saved by junior Matthew Sekerak (Winthrop, Maine).

At the 15:07 mark, Dambo netted his first of the game as senior Ian Burkhart (Lancaster, Pa.) broke free and sent a ball in from the left side where Dambo scored to the lower right side. Just over 18 minutes later he Dambo collected his second marker of the contest when he took a feed from sophomore Travis Singh (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) and put home a shot inside the right post.

After a pair of shots early in the half were saves, senior Noah Martins (Dartmouth, Mass.) had a golden opportunity in the 51st minute as he broke through the defense and fired a shot from the right side. However, the shot ricocheted off of the post.
