BUZZARDS BAY, Mass. --  Senior Luke Brewer (Edgartown, Mass.) scored a pair of goals as Bridgewater State captured the 2009 Massachusetts State College Athletic Conference men's soccer regular season championship with a 3-1 league triumph over Massachusetts Maritime Friday evening at Clean Harbors Stadium.

The visiting Bears (9-4-3, 6-0-1 MASCAC) snapped a scoreless tie with three tallies in a 6:19 span early in the second half, as sophomore Chris Swindell's (Milford, Mass.) unassisted marker in the 53^rd minute preceded both of Brewer's goals, the first coming in the 56^th minute off a Swindell feed and the second coming just 3:31 later off a rebound of a shot by freshman Simao Mendes (Brockton, Mass.).  Senior Matt McDonnell's (Marshfield, Mass.) second goal of the season with 7:12 remaining in the match on an assist from junior Andrew Mullen (Bridgewater, Mass.) accounted for the lone score of the contest for the host Buccaneers (7-8-1, 1-6 MASCAC).

Senior Ryan Seifert (Ludlow, Mass.) picked up his ninth win of the season in goal for Bridgewater State with an eight-save effort, including seven stops in the final 45 minutes of action alone, while freshman Patrick Slaney (Northbridge, Mass.) made a pair of saves in net for Massachusetts Maritime as the Buccaneers outshot the Bears by a 17-13 margin for the match, including a 13-7 advantage after intermission alone.

Massachusetts Maritime closes out regular season play on Monday afternoon by heading up to Boston to take on UMass Boston in a non-league outing that begins at 2:00 p.m., while Bridgewater State has earned the top seed in next week's Massachusetts State College Athletic Conference Championships and will face either Salem State or Fitchburg State in semi-final round action on Wednesday afternoon in Bridgewater, Mass.
