SCHENECTADY, NY – The Union College men's soccer team defeated Berkeley College 1-0 in the first game of the 2013 Union Soccer Classic.
The game was delayed over an hour due to lightning but that didn't prevent the Dutchmen from getting off to a hot start. Union scored the lone goal of the game at 1:15 of the opening half. Senior
Nick Vozzella streaked down the right wing and fed a pass to sophomore
Carl Faber. Faber tucked the ball into the bottom right corner of the net for what would be the game winning goal.
The game was delayed at halftime due to lightning but the Union defense stood strong in the second half. Junior goaltender
Ryan Carter did not face a shot in the game and earned his first shutout of the season.
The Dutchmen return to action tomorrow at College Park with a match against the United States Merchant Marine Academy starting at 2 p.m.
