THE LEADERS
•
Julius Rigo (Coatesville, Pa./Collegium Charter) converted the penalty kick and has scored in every game of his Bullets career.
•
Sean Kennedy (Cinnaminson, N.J./Cinnaminson) made five saves in goal to post his second individual shutout of the year.
FOR THE FOES
• Collin Ross took three shots to lead the Stags, who finished the game with a 14-4 advantage in the shot column.
THE REST OF THE STORY
• Claremont-Mudd-Scripps held possession for two-thirds of the first half, outshooting its hosts 10-0 but never got a quality look at goal. Just over seven minutes had elapsed in the second half when
Diallo Cowan (Stratford, Conn./Bunnell) stepped in front and took away the ball at midfield. The freshman sped down the far sideline and cut into the box. A defender stepped in front and took him down, leading to a penalty kick.
Julius Rigo stepped to the spot and drilled the kick for the game's lone goal.
THE INSIDE STORY
• In addition to the 14-4 advantage in shots, CMS had a 5-1 advantage in corner kicks.
