Box Score

BIDDEFORD, Maine -- Goals from seniors Andy Guthrie and Evan Crocker in the early parts of the 2nd half were enough to keep Gordon College unbeaten on the year, as the Fighting Scots topped the University of New England, 2-0, in Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) men's soccer action on Saturday afternoon (Sep. 20) at Barbara J. Hazard Field.

Gordon moves to 7-0 in 2014, with a 2-0 ledger in conference games. The Nor'easters dip back to 3-2-1 overall (0-2 CCC) with the defeat.

Neither side had many scoring chances in the opening frame, but the Fighting Scots pushed forward in the closing stanza and Guthrie converted a penalty kick in the 50th minute to put the visitors in front.

The margin doubled in the 59th minute, as sophomore Daniel Perez connected with Crocker streaking down the left wing and Crocker squeezed a shot past the UNE netminder.

Junior Bruce Gerberich of Gordon and Big Blue senior Aidan McParland each recorded three saves on the day. The Fighting Scots finished with comfortable advantages in shots (13-5) and corner kicks (10-1) after 90 minutes.

Gordon hits the road on Tuesday (4 p.m.) to face Eastern Connecticut State University in a non-league match.

The Nor'easters are back on the field the same day and time for a visit to Bowdoin College.
