Box ScorePhotosBOSTON -- Wentworth Institute of Technology scored twice in the final 4:42 of the first half to break open a scoreless match on its way to a 3-0 Commonwealth Coast Conference shutout of the University of New England in men's soccer action Saturday afternoon (Oct. 17) at Sweeney Field.
Wentworth (11-3, 4-2 CCC) broke a scoreless deadlock and got the only offense it would need on the afternoon when Sam Martins converted a penalty kick with 4:42 remaining before halftime.
The Leopards doubled their lead just 2:34 later as James Morrison fed Noah Martins, and Martins one-timed the cross for his fourth goal of the year.
WIT tacked on another goal in the 62nd minute when Morrison drove home a shot from the top of the box.
Wentworth controlled play much of the afternoon, building a 24-9 advantage in shots and 8-0 margin in corner kicks. Matthew Sekerak and Kevin Pepin each made two saves for the Leopards.
Jake Rostkowski was credited with seven stops for UNE before giving way to
Nate Diffin, who had three.
The Nor'easters (2-13, 0-6) are back in action Wednesday when they face Gordon College on the turf at Brigham Athletic Complex (7 p.m.) on the Gordon campus.
