Men's Soccer Clips Fisher

BOSTON, Mass. – Vinny Dentrone's goal in the 73rd minute of play snapped a scoreless tie and lifted the Wentworth Institute of Technology men's soccer team (2-2-2) to a 1-0 win over Fisher College (2-2-1) Thursday night on Sweeney Field.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED:

• After Wentworth got off an early shot that was saved by Eduardo Navarro, Fisher had four shot attempts, including one that came off a corner kick service. Of the four, only one went on net which was saved by Adrian Sanchez.
• Both teams continued to have scoring chances, with neither team able to put the ball home.
• The teams traded shot attempts early in the second half before the Falcons had a stretch of four straight attempts, with three of them getting blocked by Leopard defenders. In the 67th minute, Kyle Hallahan put a shot on net that was saved by Navarro.
• After Fisher had a pair of attempts, including one in the 71st minute that was blocked, Wentworth cleared the ball out. A service went off two defenders where Dentrone collected the ball and put a shot inside the left post to give the hosts a 1-0 lead.
• Sanchez made a save on a potential game-tying bid in the 74th minute, while Navarro made a save on a Hallahan bid in the 81st minute that nearly put the game on ice.
