Colby-Sawyer improves to 7-5 overall and 5-0 in the NAC. The Chargers will stay in Vermont on Sunday for a 3:30 p.m. tilt at Johnson State. The Hornets (1-10, 0-5 NAC) host New England College tomorrow at 2:30pm.
Noah Camelo (Marblehead, Mass.) netted the game-winning goal with a header off a Denali Sexton (Barrington, R.I.) corner in the 25th minute. The helper gives Sexton his 15th career assist ranking him tied for fifth on Colby-Sawyer's all-time list.
Sexton would break into the scoring column in the 48th minute with a header of his own off a free kick from Zach Anderson (Wilmington, Mass.). Sexton picked up his second goal of the day in the 71st minute when he beat the defense after a lead pass from Zach Elmore (Berlin, Vt.). Just over a minute later, Andrew Clothier (Matamata, New Zealand) launched a corner kick into the box that found Kevin Tracy (West Hartford, Conn.) who kicked the ball over the line just before Hornet keeper Matt LaClair (Beekmantown, N.Y.) swatted it away.
LaClair made six saves in 75 minutes of work in net for the Hornets. Jason Pelkey (Barre, Vt.) picked up one save in relief of LaClair.
Shane Sacks (Huntington Station, N.Y.) recorded four saves in the shutout win for the Chargers to get his second win of the season.
Remarks from Coach Wilkinson:
"I always tell my players, the most important thing is 3 points and a clean sheet at the end of day, especially when we play away from home. That was the case this evening. We stayed compact in the back and tightened it up in the midfield to get the result. Once we started playing faster in the second half and being more clinical in our passing in the final third, we started seeing more chances and we looked more like ourselves. It was great seeing Sexton being lethal in the box again as he was getting the ball served to him. On another positive note was the welcoming back Eddie Garcia. Garcia is a huge player for us and very important to the spine of the team. He's been missing for a few weeks now with a serious injury but its great seeing him back on the pitch and getting his fitness back. He knows how important he is to the whole squad as they feed off his energy in the middle. Overall it was a good day for the Colby Sawyer College Men's Soccer team."
