MEN'S SOCCER

BRUNSWICK, Maine -- In the second of two weekend road games, the Williams College men's soccer team won a 1-0 squeaker over Bowdoin on a 75th minute goal by back Greg Andreou.

 

Williams now improves to 3-2 on the season (2-1 NESCAC), while Bowdoin drops to 2-2 (1-2 NESCAC).

 

Williams (3-2, 2-1 NESCAC) started out the game strong thanks to their attacking game and combo play. By the end of the first half, the Ephs had taken six shots and had consistently pressured the Bowdoin back line.

 

However, as the second half started, it looked like Bowdoin was starting to find their groove, passing fluidly and finding their way past the midfield for two on target shots in the first fifteen minutes, but the Polar Bears ran into the stone wall that was Williams goalie Christian Alcorn, who made some key saves throughout the second half.

 

In the 75th minute when senior Mohammed Rashid took a free kick in Bowdoin territory which tipped off a Bowdoin defender and onto the foot of Greg Andreou, who tapped in his first collegiate goal.

 

Williams hosts Amherst on Saturday at 1 p.m.
