Summary
NEWPORT, R.I. - Sophomore keeper Jake Castro (Swansea, Mass.) posted his second consecutive shutout for the UMass Dartmouth men's soccer team as it defeated Salve Regina University 1-0 in non-conference action Wednesday afternoon.

Series and Streaks
UMass leads the all-time series 16-7-3 and has gone 10-1-1 versus Salve Regina in Newport.

Three Stars of the Game

1. UMass sophomore Jake Castro made 13 saves to improve to 2-0 between the pipes.
2. UMass junior Yorik Sajbin (Fall River, Mass.) scored the game's only goal in the 51st.
3. UMass senior Junior Monteiro (New Bedford, Mass.) was integral on the Corsairs goal, helping to set up Sajbin, and notching his team-leading third assist of the season.

Turning Point
The Seahawks had outshot and out-chanced the Corsairs in the first half yet the game remained scoreless. Early in the second half Junior Monteiro received a ball at midfield and was able to ricochet it through a crowd to himself and sprint up the right side. He found Sajbin running by himself down the middle and the junior slipped a shot in for his first of the season to give UMass a 1-0 lead. The Seahawks had plenty of time left in the game to notch the equalizer and finished with a flurry of shots on goal but could not best Casto.

The game was very physical, with 24 whistled fouls and a yellow card issued.
