Framingham, Mass. - The Framingham State University men's soccer tallied three second half goals as the Rams broke open a 0-0 tie and secured a 3-0 victory over Westfield State University in Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference (MASCAC) action at Maple Street Field.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

  • The Rams had a pair of quality scoring chances in the first half.  First, senior Bryant Nardizzi (Framingham, Mass.) had a clean look at the net inside the box, but WSU goalkeeper Tyler Diotalevi came up with the diving stop. Then, junior Bryce Nardizzi (Framingham, Mass.) made a move past a defender and had a clear look, but his shot sailed just wide.
  • The Rams had several chances to open the second half, but could not find the back of the net until the 71st minute.  The Owls were called for a handball in the box giving the Rams a penalty kick.  Bryant Nardizzi took the kick and placed a shot in the low corner for the 1-0 lead.
  • Just over two minutes later, the Rams added an insurance goal. Sophomore Nahuel Algibay sent a pass ahead to senior Isaac DeSouza in the box and De Souza lofted a shot into the back of the net for the 2-0 advantage.
  • The Rams would add a final goal from freshman Sherak Ayamga in the final minute of the game to reach the final score.
