Brookline, Mass. - The Newbury College men’s soccer team had their second victory of the season today at their home field against Daniel Webster College with a final score of 2-1.

The Nighthawks came out strong from the start, scoring the first goal just under the 39 minute mark of the first half. The goal was scored by first year student Bryan Maddock (Marshfield, MA/Marshfield) off of a pass from senior captain Chad D’Ancona (Wantage, NJ/High Point Regional) on a breakaway. The goal marked Maddock’s first score of his collegiate career.

Newbury held onto a 1-0 lead at the half, and improved upon their lead around midpoint of the second half when John Mawson (Amherst, MA/Amherst) drilled an impressive long shot from the top of the eighteen, unassisted. Daniel Webster answered back shortly afterwards with a goal of their own, scored by Andre Garcia (Springfield, MA/Springfield) assisted by Parker Condit (Newton, NJ/North Warren) and Michael Lohr (Chepachet, RI/ Ponnaganset).

Both goalies, Brian Picanco (Lowell, MA/ Lowell) from Newbury, and Craig Van Tuyl (Buffalo, NY/Iroquois) from Daniel Webster saw their share of the action with 13 and 12 shots on goal respectively. Picanco finished with 5 saves on the game, while Van Tuyl finished with 6.

The Nighthawks improve their record to 2-4, while Daniel Webster drops to 1-5-1.
