Box Score
In Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) quarterfinal action today on Gordon's Quad, the Fighting Scots captured a commanding 3-0 win over the visiting Seahawks of Salve Regina University to improve to 8-7-3 overall on the season and advance to the semifinal round.
With both teams vying for momentum in the early minutes, it was Gordon's
Andrew Vandervoort (So./Memphis, Tenn.) who gave his team the 1-0 advantage after finishing a ball from
Kellen Kasiguran (Jr./Oakwood Village, Ohio) in the 16th minute of play. Though Salve turned on the offensive pressure in the remaining minutes of the first, the Scots would extend their lead to 2-0 when
Kristian Kasiguran (Fr./Oakwood Village, Ohio) buried a
Noah McGarr (Sr./Westport, Mass.) assist with just over two minutes to play in the stanza.
Holding firm to that lead thanks in part to outstanding defensive efforts from
Micah Linn (Sr./Germantown, Tenn.),
John Clancy (Sr./Woodridge, Ill.),
Trevor Hinshaw (So./San Jose, Calif.), and keeper
Spencer Lord (Sr./North Stonington, Conn.), the Scots thwarted all 20 Salve attempts in the second half and received an insurance goal from Kellen Kasiguran on an
Eric Ernst (Jr./Ridgecrest, Calif.) assist in the 61st minute to secure the win.
Lord notched 15 saves for the Scots in the winning effort, while Salve keeper Kyle Kurczka (Fr./Berlin, Conn.) recorded five saves in the loss.
Salve finishes the season at 7-9-3 overall while the Scots, in a rematch of last year's championship match, will host Nichols in the CCC semifinals on Tuesday, November 1.
