Box Score

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- Sophomore Kiel Hiller (Galloway, N.J.) scored a pair of first half goals and the University of New England held on late for a 3-2 non-conference victory over Newbury College in men's soccer action Monday at Pine Manor College.

Winners of six consecutive games -- the longest win streak in over 22 years -- the Nor'easters now stand at 7-1 overall. The Nighthawks remain winless on the season at 0-7.

After first-year Kevin Tarr (Herman, Maine) got the visitors on the board in the 18th minute off a pass from junior Jason Marks (East Lyme, Conn.), Hiller had increased the UNE lead to 3-0 by intermission with 23rd and 41st minute scores. Junior goalie Jon Planer (Yarmouth, Maine) and classmate Elia Del Molino (Glendale, Mass.) each assisted on one of the Hiller goals.

Newbury cut the deficit to two just 1:39 into the second frame when sophomore Andi Maska (Roslindale, Mass.) found first-year Alex Chappell (East Haddam, Conn.) for a goal.

The rookie scored later in the 84th minute off a Hector Abudoj (Tegucigalpa, Honduras) assist to pull the Nighthawks to within one, but the hosts could find the equalizer in the remaining minutes.

Planer and senior Trevor Secord (Keene, N.H.) split time in net for UNE, with Planer recording the only save in the first half.

Sophomore William McNally (Grafton, Mass.) made five stops for the Newbury, which travels to Brandeis University Wednesday.

The Nor'easters, who out-shot their opponents by a margin of 20-9, return to conference play the same day when they visit Salve Regina University for a 4 p.m. contest.
