Men's Soccer Posts 6-1 Win over Mitchell

BRIDGEWATER, Mass. – The Bridgewater State University men's soccer team received goals from six different players as the host Bears defeated Mitchell College, 6-1, this afternoon at Swenson Field in Bridgewater.

With the win, Bridgewater improves to 2-0 on the season while Mitchell falls to 1-1.

Along with the six different goal scorers, the Bears also had 13 players register either a goal or an assist with no multi-point producers.

Junior forward Jose DePina (Boston, Mass.) opened the scoring with his team leading fourth goal of the season in the 14th minute. After Mitchell senior forward Chris Rapuano (Clinton, Mass.) tied the game with a header off a cross in the 30th minute, freshman forward Craig Shadduck (Braintree, Mass.) notched his first collegiate goal in the 38th minute to give BSU the lead for good.  Freshman midfielder Joshua Jackson (Sutton, Mass.) capped off the first half scoring with his first career goal with just over a minute remaining in the opening stanza.

Sophomore forward Matt Palatino (Ludlow, Mass.), senior defender Pat Kenneally (Braintree, Mass.) and junior forward Said Ekinci (Sakarya, Turkey) tallied second half goals for the Bears who have found the back of the net 11 times over the first two games.

Junior netminder DJ Siewierski (Stow, Mass.) picked up the win between the pipes for the Bears.  Junior Kevin Woodford (Niantic, Conn.) made nine saves in goal for the Mariners including a pair of stops on a penalty kick and the ensuing rebound.

Bridgewater State travels to Plymouth State University on Saturday afternoon for a 4:30 match with the Panthers.  Mitchell hosts Lehman College on Saturday at one.
