Men's Soccer Drops 2-0 NEWMAC Contest to Wheaton

NORTON, Mass. – The MIT men's soccer team suffered its first NEWMAC loss as the Engineers dropped a 2-0 contest to Wheaton on Saturday afternoon at Keefe Field. 

THE BASICS: 
  • Score: Wheaton 2, MIT 0 
  • Records: MIT (5-4-4 Overall, 2-1-2 NEWMAC), Wheaton (7-2-4 Overall, 2-1-1 NEWMAC) 

HOW IT HAPPENED: 

  • Wheaton jumped out to a quick lead with a goal from Paco Polo as he tucked his shot just inside the right post just over 12-minutes into the match. 
  • The Lyons offense looked to increase their first half lead, but Paolo Mangiafico made five saves in the first 45 minutes to keep it a one-goal game.  
  • A goal from Declan Rhatigan off a free kick at 76:01 made it a two-goal lead as the Engineers could not build much momentum against the Wheaton defense as the Lyons held on for the 2-0 win. 

INSIDE THE NUMBERS: 

  • Mangiafico made a season-high eight saves in the match. 

UP NEXT: 

  • MIT will remain on the road as they will travel to Clark for a 4:00 PM match on Wednesday, October 21. The Lyons will also head out on the road on Wednesday for a 7:00 PM match at WPI.
