MEN'S SOCCER

NU Defeats Emmanuel, 4-0, To Keep Win Streak Alive

Sep 29, 2007

NORTHFIELD, Vt. - The Norwich men's soccer team continued its winning ways on Saturday as  the Cadets shut out GNAC opponent Emmanuel, 4-0, Saturday afternoon at Howard Field. Having won eight straight matches, NU improves to 9-1-0, 4-0-0 GNAC. The Saints, meanwhile, falls to 3-6-0, 1-3-0 GNAC.

Norwich dominated the play early, but was unable to convert until junior Drew Dilley scored at the 21:07 mark, converting a pass from Connor Sweeney. Exactly one minute later, junior Rob Harlow doubled the Cadets' lead, ramming home a shot into the lower right-hand corner of the net. The goal, which was set up beautifully by Peter Andrews, gives Harlow the Norwich all-time goals scored record with 36 career goals.

Kyle Przekaza banged home a rebound opportunity in the 63rd minute to extend NU's advantage to 3-0, and Andrews closed out the scoring in the 81st, when he took a feed from David Stojny and found the back of the goal.

Jake Pagragan made three saves and Brian Riopelle turned away one shot as the duo combined on the shutout.

NU has recorded shutouts in four of its last five contests. The Cadets have outscored their opponents, 33-6, during the eight-game win streak.

Norwich held a 12-2 edge in corner kicks, while outshooting the Saints, 21-9.

Norwich will conclude its four-match homestand on Wednesday, Oct. 3, when the Cadets welcome arch-rival Middlebury to Howard Field for a 3 p.m. match.
