MANCHESTER, N.H. – Matt Delaney’s (Wallasey, England) goal with just over five minutes remaining lifted Southern New Hampshire University to a 2-1 Northeast-10 men’s soccer victory over Bentley College Tuesday evening at Larkin Field.  The Penmen, who are 3-1-2 over their last six games, improved to 5-5-5 overall and 5-4-2 in Northeast-10 play.  Bentley falls to 5-11-1 and 2-9 in the league.

In a second half that saw the Penmen outshoot Bentley 13-1, Delaney would score at the 84:15 mark.  Standing in the middle of the box, Delaney took a pass from Michael Adam (Ludlow, MA) and fired from 12 yards out.  His shot glanced off the right post and over the goal line for the eventual game-winner.  Gabe Mercier (Middleboro, MA) also assisted on the goal.

Bentley would get on the board at the 38:18 mark following a corner kick.  After a SNHU defender cleared the ball, Austin Faroni collected it and fired a shot from 25 yards out that snuck inside the right post.  The Penmen would respond 3:46 later.  Michael Adam (Ludlow, MA) delivered a left-to-right clearing pass into the box to Kevin Woods (Alyth, Scotland) who headed the ball home to knot the game at 1-1.  Ivan Boaventura (Pawtucket, RI) added an assist on the play.

Southern New Hampshire owned a commanding 17-4 shot advantage, including a 14-3 advantage in shots on goal.  Dan Pelc (Hamilton, ONT) made two saves for the Penmen, while Bentley keeper Derek DuBois made 11 saves.

Southern New Hampshire returns to action Friday night when it travels to Assumption College for a 7:00 match.
