Men’s Soccer Improves to 2-0 Following a Shutout against Wilson

The Albright Men’s Soccer team shutout the visiting Wilson College in a 1-0 victory for their second win in as many games.

READING, Pa. – Following a physical and exciting 90 minutes, men's soccer secured a 1-0 win over the visiting Wilson College giving coach Stanco and company and a 2-0 record to begin the season for the second year in a row. 
 
The last time the Lions had back-to-back shutouts came in the previous season where they out scored Wilson and Valley Forge by a combined 8-0 in those games. 
 
Both teams ended without a goal in the first half and looking to break through in the last 45 minutes of play.
 
After several fantastic saves and missed opportunities from both teams, Christian Bowles would score the game winning goal for the Lions in the 78th minute of play. With his goal in today's contest, the sophomore has already tallied three goals as well as the game winner in both matches.
 
First Year defensemen Will Garnett played 55 minutes off the bench and recorded the assist off Bowles' goal for his first career assist as a Lion. 
 
Senior goalkeeper Chris Denholm turned in another strong performance making three saves and a number of other clutch grabs to prevent additional shots from Wilson. With a win today, Denholm picked up his 10th career win in net.
 
Up Next:
 
The Lions will conclude their three game home stretch with a match against Pitt-Greensburg on Saturday 9/7 at 4:00 pm.
