UMass Dartmouth cracked the scoring column in the fourth minute, when sophomore Junior Robert (Providence, R.I.) headed in his first goal in a Corsair uniform. Junior Wilfred Ghanyea (Monrovia, Liberia) was credited with the assist off the free kick.
Junior Luis Carranza (New Bedford, Mass.) played all 90 minutes in net and made four stops to earn the victory. His counterpart, Josh Arno, registered three saves in the loss.
