Corsairs clip Seahawks, 1-0

DARTMOUTH, Mass. - Freshman Lucas Passaro received a corner kick from junior John Aguiar and sent home the game-winning goal in the 48th minute to boost the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth men's soccer team over Salve Regina, 1-0, Wednesday night at Cressy Field.

The Corsairs' (1-1) back line led by junior Nilin Nehra withstood 19 shots by the Seahawks (1-3). Senior Jake Castro and sophomore Jack Waterhouse split time in goal. Castro came away with three saves, while Waterhouse finished with one stop and was credited with the win.

Salve opened the match on the offensive. The Seahawks fired eight shots compared to three for the Corsairs in the first half.

UMassD took full advantage of its corner kick in the 48th minute. Aguiar's cross was off the fingertips of the Salve Regina goalkeeper, Charlie Zwierzchowski, and found its way to the foot of Passaro, who knocked it home to give the Corsairs a 1-0 lead.

That score would stand as the UMassD defense had an answer for everything the Seahawks threw at them.
