Men’s Soccer Ends Regular Season with Loss at Lasell

NEWTON, Mass. - The New England College men's soccer team fell following a tough second half at Lasell on Tuesday in Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) action at Taylor Field in Newton, Massachusetts. 

THE BASICS 
Score: New England College 1, Lasell University 3 
Records: Pilgrims 8-6-4, 6-5-3 GNAC | Lasers 4-9-3, 4-7-3 GNAC 

HOW IT HAPPENED 

  • Things got off to a good start for the 'Grims, as in the 15th minute, senior midfielder Alex Rust (Hooksett, N.H.) would give NEC the 1-0 advantage with his second goal of the season, assisted by sophomore midfielder Anthony Aguiar (Guilford, N.H.). 
  • The Pilgrims would take that 1-0 lead into the halftime break, but unfortunately would not be able to hold onto it. Three unanswered second-half Lasell goals scored by Dillon Winkelman (Spencer, Mass.), Daniel Augustine (Bolton, Mass.), and Daniel Faynstein (Needham, Mass.) would prove too much to overcome giving the Lasers the 3-1 win. 

INSIDE THE NUMBERS 

  • NEC junior goalkeeper Hayden Walker (Manchester, N.H.) tallied seven saves in the loss. 
  • Lasell's junior goalie Cameron McDonough (Melrose, Mass) had five saves with Rust's goal being his lone blemish. 
  • Lasell narrowly outshot NEC, 18-14. 

UP NEXT 

  • NEC will look for a different outcome as the two teams will be set for a rematch in the play-in round of the GNAC tournament. The 7th seeded Pilgrims will officially host the 10th seeded Lasers on Thursday, October 26th, at 6:00 PM at the one and only Don Melander Field.
