Manchester, N.H.
(August 30) - The men's soccer team defeated C. W.
Post on Saturday afternoon by a 4-0 final at Melucci Field. The win
improves the Hawks to 1-1-0 overall while the loss drops C.W. Post
to 0-2-0.

when forward Julian Escobar (Hicksville,

John Corridan (Holliston, Mass.)
on a diving save. With two minutes left in the first half, freshman
forward Justin Labonte (Pembroke,
Mass.) took a lead pass from Kyle Faucher
(Northwood, N.H.) and drilled it past the Pioneer
goaltender Christopher Kucera (Sayville,
N.Y.).
It was much of the same in the second half as the Hawks added to
the lead in the 80th and 83rd minute with two goals from forward
Jeff Dell'Orfano (N. Andover,
Mass.). With less than five minutes in the game,
Keesan Howe (Norwich, Conn.)
added another goal on a corner from junior Richard
