Bison Overrun Nighthawks

The Newbury College men's soccer team lost to Nichols College, 3-1, Thursday afternoon. After jumping out to the early 1-0 lead four minutes into the contest, the Bison countered with three unanswered goals for a 3-1 victory.

Sophomore Andy Osei (Worcester, MA/Burncoat) rebounded a shot-on-goal from freshman Hector Adudoj (Honduras/American School of Tequcigalpa) to put the Nighthawks on the board first. But the Bison replied with a goal of their own from sophomore David Johnson (Canterbury, CT/Griswold) 13 minutes later to knot up the score at one each, where it stood at the half.

Nichols junior Mark Capitanio (Mansfield, MA/Mansfield) found the back of the net, off a free kick, midway through the second half to give the Bison the 2-1 advantage. They would add to their lead 16 minutes later when junior Michael Schell (South Windsor, CT/South Windsor) scored on a pass from fellow junior Ryan Wytrych (Feeding Hills, MA/Cathedral).

With the loss, the Nighthawks fall to 0-4 on the season while the Bison improve to 4-1. Newbury will return to the pitch next Tuesday, September 22 when they host Rivier College at 3:30pm.
