Box Score

NEWPORT, R.I. - The Endicott College men’s soccer team had their two-game streak snapped at the hands of Salve Regina University, 5-1, on Tuesday afternoon in Newport, R.I. in The Commonwealth Coast Conference soccer action. The Gulls drop to 5-6 (3-4 TCCC) while Salve Regina (6-4-1, 4-2-1 TCCC) stretches its unbeaten streak to three games and marks their second-consecutive win over the Gulls.

For the Seahawks, Nicodemo Camarda’s (Burlington, N.J.) first career goal at 22:35 gave the Seahawks a 1-0 lead. Sophomore Chris Knoth (East Islip, N.Y.) sent a corner kick into the box that was played by Sean McAllister (North Arlington, N.J.) to Camarda at the left post, and the back knocked the ball past Endicott keeper \#Daniel Higgins\# (Kingston, R.I.). Less than four minutes later, junior Billy Carroll (Babylon, N.Y.) converted a feed from junior co-captain Ken Johnson (Colonia, N.J.) into his second goal of the season to give SRU a 2-0 lead. Johnson controlled the ball in the middle of the field and slid a pass through the defense to a streaking Carroll, who blew a shot past Higgins at 26:10.

In the second, sophomore James Tollefson (Middletown, R.I.) took a long breakout pass from Camarda and beat Higgins on a breakaway to stretch the lead to 3-0 at 63:45. McAllister’s third goal of the season deflected in off the right post at 64:33, and his second of the game came off a pass from freshman Brian Sweeney (Waldoboro, Maine) at 67:17 that McAllister fired into the left corner.

Sophomore \#Ryan Coates\# (Wethersfield, Conn.) potted his second goal of the season at 73:53 to spoil the Salve Regina shutout bid. Freshman \#Kevin Ivester\# (Topsfield, Mass.) was credited with the assist.

Senior Kurt Ginthwain (Tolland, Conn.) recorded three saves to earn his sixth win of the season while Higgins finished with one save. Salve’s Sean McAllister scored a pair of goals and classmate Nicodemo Camarda added a goal and an assist for the Seahawks.
