Ferris' Goal Lifts Men's Soccer to 1-0 Win Over Gordon

Wenham, Mass. - Cory Ferris (Somerset, Mass.) struck in the 15th minute for what proved to be the game's only goal as the visiting Framingham State University men's soccer team defeated Gordon College 1-0 at the Brigham Athletic Complex.

The Rams were the aggressors early, putting together a number of good scoring before Ferris broke through.  Senior midfielder Scott Faria (Fall River, Mass.) assisted on Ferris' tally.

 However, the Scots' defense settled and the remainder of the half was played to a draw. Noah McGarr nearly broke through for the Scots late in the first half, but his shot off the left wing sailed just wide.

Gordon goalkeeper Alex Sosler (two saves) was tested twice in the second half and came up with a pair of diving stops. The Scots attack nearly scored in the final ten minutes of the match as Matt Horth cracked two shots on goal, but both were turned aside by Rams' keeper Greg Halle (Beverly, Mass.), who made seven stops in the game.  

The two teams were even in shots at 13 apiece with Framingham State holding a 4-3 edge in corner kicks.

Gordon (0-2) will look to break into the win column on Monday when they host Salem State at 4 p.m., while the Rams improve to 2-0 on the young season and travel to Curry College on Wednesday night at 7 p.m.
