NEW LONDON, N.H. – October 26, 2018 – The fourth-seeded Colby-Sawyer men's soccer team scored twice in the second half to secure a 2-0 victory over fifth-seeded Albertus Magnus in a Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Tournament quarterfinal on a blustery Friday afternoon.     

Colby-Sawyer (6-7-2) improves to 7-7-2 and advances to Tuesday's GNAC semifinal contest against the winner of tonight's other quarterfinal match between top-seeded and nationally ranked Saint Joseph's (ME) and eight-seeded Emmanuel. Albertus Magnus ends the season at 6-6-5.

Colby-Sawyer sophomore Ethan Sweet (Cornish, N.H.) broke a scoreless tie in the 69th minute with the game-winning goal. He took a touch five yards outside the 18-yard box and work around a defender to rip a ground ball shot into the left corner of the net past the dive of the Falcons keeper.

The Chargers added an insurance goal in the 87th minute off the foot of first-year Jonathan Martinez (Stony Point, N.Y.). The ball found Martinez after bouncing off multiple players in the box. With the ball still bouncing, Martinez volleyed his shot into the back of the net for his second goal of the season.

First-year Lucas Boetsch (Rockport, Maine) made a pair of saves for Colby-Sawyer, while Falcons goalie Joe Russo (North Haven, Conn.) had three saves.  

Colby-Sawyer held a 13-8 advantage in shots and a 7-5 edge in corner kicks.
