MANCHESTER, N.H.Sean Lambert (Rehoboth, MA) made two saves en route to his second shutout of the season as Southern New Hampshire University posted a 3-0 Northeast-10 men’s soccer victory over The College of Saint Rose at Larkin Field Saturday night.  The Penmen, who are 2-0-1 in their last three games, improved to 4-4-4 overall and 4-3-1 in NE-10 play, while the Golden Knights are now 1-10-1 and 1-7-1 in the league.

The hosts would get on the board in the ninth minute on an own goal.  Simon Kearney (Barrow-upon-Humber, England) delivered a low crossing pass into the box from the right side.  A Saint Rose defender would knock in the pass inadvertently before Golden Knight keeper Patrick Whalen (Conklin, NY) could make a play on it.

SNHU would strike twice in the second half.  Matt Delaney (Wallasey, England) would make it 2-0 when he converted a penalty kick at the 63:31 mark after a foul by Whalen in the box.  Kearney would add the third goal with 8:18 remaining when he took a pass from Kevin Woods (Alyth, Scotland) near midfield, dribbled into the box, made moves around two CSR defenders and fired a low liner past Whalen.

Lambert made two saves for his second shutout in three starts and has only allowed one goal in three games this season.  Whalen made five saves for the guests, who were outshot 11-7.

Southern New Hampshire returns to action Wednesday afternoon when it travels to Saint Michael’s College for a 3:30 contest.
