SCHENECTADY, N.Y. – Senior captain Lucas Montalto scored the lone goal while classmate Jacob Perry made nine saves to lead the Union College men's soccer team past Vassar College, 1-0, on Wednesday night at College Park Field.

Vassar (6-3-2) controlled much of the first half, registering 12 shot attempts, while the Garnet Chargers managed just three. Despite the disparity, both teams entered halftime scoreless.

Union (4-4-3) broke through 11 minutes into the second half when junior Luke Ingber delivered a beautiful through ball to Montalto, who beat the goalkeeper one-on-one and fired the ball into the bottom-right corner of the net.

With a team save off the goal line and two more key stops from Perry in the second half, the Garnet Chargers held on for the 1-0 shutout victory.

Union's back line delivered an outstanding defensive performance, shutting down 23 total shot attempts by Vassar.

The Garnet Chargers continue Liberty League action Saturday, traveling to Rochester Institute of Technology for a 2:00 p.m. kickoff during Union's Homecoming and Family Weekend.
