Box Score

QUINCY, Mass. -- Eastern Nazarene College received two first-half goals from senior Bryan Wright (Bridgewater, Mass.) and built a three score cushion in the second before having to hold on in the final moments for a 3-2 The Commonwealth Coast Conference win over the University of New England in the regular-season finale Wednesday evening at Veterans Memorial Stadium.

Wright got the hosts on the board in the 36th minute, and 3:40 later made it 2-0 -- a lead Eastern Nazarene took into intermission.

A header by sophomore Josh Kaplan (Hopewell Junction, N.Y.) at the 60-minute mark pushed the advantage to 3-0 before UNE began to fight back.

First-year Matt Christie (Hudson, N.H.) recorded his second goal of the season in the 72nd minute, one-timing a deflected free kick into the back of the net.

With 30 seconds remaining, junior Kiel Hiller (Galloway, N.J.) put home his third goal in as many games to make the difference one (3-2), but the Nor'easters could not find the equalizer before time ran out.
