FINAL:              #7 BRANDEIS 3, MASSACHUSETTS MARITIME 0

BUZZARDS BAY, Mass. --  Senior Tyler Savonen (Orleans, Mass.) scored a pair of goals, while sophomore Zach Vieira (Andover, Mass.) added a goal and an assist to lead seventh-ranked Brandeis to a 3-0 non-league college men’s soccer victory over Massachusetts Maritime Tuesday evening at Clean Harbors Stadium.

Savonen gave the visiting Judges (12-1) the only goal they would need 9:47 into the contest on a feed from freshman Christian Hernandez (Revere, Mass.), and he extended Brandeis’s advantage to 2-0 less than nine minutes later on a pass from Vieira that came from the right side of the net for his team-leading seventh tally of the season.  Vieira provided an insurance marker in the 59^th minute for the Judges, as he converted a feed from junior Josh Hacunda (Hopkinton, Mass.) for his fifth goal of the fall that closed out the scoring.

Senior Joe Graffy (Concord, N.H.) picked up his 12^th win of the year without having to make a save over the first 70-plus minutes of play in goal for Brandeis, which received a pair of stops from freshman Ben Woodhouse (Suffield, Conn.) over the final 19-plus minutes of action for the combined shutout.  Sophomore Joe Cohen (Plymouth, Mass.) made six saves in the setback for the host Buccaneers (5-6-1), as the Judges outshot Massachusetts Maritime by an 11-3 margin overall (9-2 on goal) while holding a 4-3 edge in corner kicks for the contest.

Massachusetts Maritime hosts Bridgewater State in a Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference outing on Friday evening at Clean Harbors Stadium beginning at 7:00 p.m., while Brandeis hosts Carnegie Mellon in a University Athletic Association match on Friday afternoon in Waltham, Mass. that begins at 5:00 p.m.
