Box Score

ALLENTOWN, Pa. - It was a case of "early does it" for the Muhlenberg men's soccer team in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Starting at the rare time of 11 in the morning, the Mules had enough goals by 11:30 to breeze into the second round with a 4-0 win against Baruch. The Mules (15-1-2), who won their eighth in a row, will play Catholic, a 2-0 winner against Coast Guard, tomorrow at 1:00, with the winner advancing to the "Sweet 16."

Chris Scott, Franklin & Marshall

Box Score

LANCASTER, Pa. – A second-half goal from Chris Scott broke a scoreless contest and delivered the No. 15 Franklin & Marshall men's soccer team a 1-0 shutout of Johnson & Wales on Saturday evening in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. The win propelled the Diplomats (16-1-2) into tomorrow's second round matchup against Rochester at Tylus Field, beginning at 5:00 p.m. F&M goalkeeper Trevor Britton (16-1-2) was spectacular in net, stopping four shots and coming up with a number of key plays throughout the contest. With the shutout, his 12th of the season, and subsequent win, Britton set a pair of single-season program records.

Alfred Hylton-Dei, Dickinson

Box Score

Norton, Mass. – The Dickinson men's soccer team suffered a 2-1 first-round setback to Tufts University in the NCAA Division III Championship on Saturday afternoon.  The Jumbos struck first, scoring in the 61st minute. Gus Santos sent a cross into the box and Connor Brown was on the back-end to put Tufts on the board with a header into the net. The Red Devils quickly responded, netting the equalizer, just four minutes later. Junior Alfred Hylton-Dei (Geneva, Switzerland/Mercersburg Academy, Pa.) collected a rebounded save off a shot from classmate Isaac Pitkow (Jenkintown, Pa./Abington) to pull the Devils even. Santos came up big for Tufts again, breaking free in the 79th minute and scoring off a beautifully fed ball from Sam Williams.
