Late Goal Dooms Golden Bears' Valiant Comeback in CCC Men's Soccer Opener

Box Score WENHAM, Mass.--Andrew Vandervoort scored the game-winning goal with just 2 minutes and 3 seconds left in the game to lift Gordon to a 3-2 win Saturday evening over Western New England in the Commonwealth Coast Conference men's soccer opener for both teams, spoiling a valiant Golden Bears comeback. The host Scots improve to 5-0 overall while WNE drops to 3-2.

After falling behind 2-0 in the first 25 minutes, WNE got on the scoreboard in the 38th minute on freshman Scott Trautwein's first career goal. Fellow first-year Ryan Dickinson assisted on the play.

The deficit remained 2-1 in the second half until senior Jake Bartnik drew WNE even with a penalty kick goal in the 70th.

Kellen Kasiguran put Gordon up 2-0 in the 18th and 25th minutes, with the latter goal coming from an almost impossible angle. He found the back of the net on a direct free kick near the right corner flag.

In the waning minutes, Andy Guthrie sent a ball into the box where Vandervoort picked up the pass and feathered a shot just underneath the hand of WNE goalie Domenick Villano into the lower right corner of the net.

Gordon held a slim 12-9 shots advantage and both teams had seven corner kicks.
