Cougars Shutout By Nichols, 2-0

Box Score

Dudley, Mass. – Senior Mark Capitanio had a hand in both Nichols College goals and the host Bison posted a 2-0 shutout win over visiting Clark University in men's soccer action on Wednesday afternoon.

The loss for the Cougars snapped their season-opening three game winning streak and the win for Nichols is their first of the season.

After a scoreless first half, the Bison finally got the match's first tally when Capitanio served in a corner kick that Pat Gaumond buried for a 1-0 lead.

Nichols controlled the second half registering 17 shots and six corner kicks respectively, compared to the Cougars, who mustered just six shots and a pair of corner kicks in the final 45 minutes.

That 1-0 advantage looked to be the difference until Capitanio scored from midfield with ten seconds left in the game to make the score 2-0.

Ryan King (Brimfield, Mass.) made a season-high nine saves for Clark, while Brendan Hamilton recorded four stops for the Bison.

Clark looks to return to the win column on Saturday when they visit Brandeis beginning at 6:00 p.m.
