Men's Soccer Blanks Curry in CNE Opener

BOSTON, Mass. – Two second-half tallies lifted the Wentworth Institute of Technology men's soccer (4-3-2, 1-0 CNE) to a 2-0 blanking of conference-foe Curry (5-4-0, 0-1 CNE) in both team's respective conference openers Saturday afternoon.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

• Curry responded later on, earning two corner kicks by the 26:58 mark. Three shots by the Colonels were all turned away by Adrian Sanchez, keeping the contest scoreless heading into the break.
• The Leopards broke the scoreless knot early in the second half as a free kick by Alex Burnham found the head of Zachary Redondo in the box, who beat Cunnigham to lift the Black & Gold to a 1-0 lead at the 49:02 mark.
• Wentworth doubled their lead by the 72:08 mark as an outlet pass by Dylan Michaud found Carlos Jimenez, who tucked the ball into the left corner of the net for his first collegiate goal.
• Sanchez made three saves in his third-straight shutout bid while the Black & Gold owned advantages in shots (16-7) and corner kicks (5-2).
