Minutemen Win Fifth Straight With 3-1 Victory At Dartmouth
September 13, 2022 | Men's Soccer
Alec Hughes scored twice for his second multi-goal game in the last three while Matt Zambetti stopped a season-high eight shots.
HANOVER, N.H. – Alec Hughes scored twice while Matt Zambetti came up with a season-high eight saves as the Massachusetts men's soccer team won its fifth consecutive match with a 3-1 victory at Dartmouth on Tuesday evening. The Minutemen (5-0-1 Overall) took a 2-0 lead in the opening 21 minutes and held a 2-1 advantage prior to a two-hour weather delay in the 33rd-minute.
Â
Hughes netted both of his goals in the opening 21 minutes for his second multi-goal game in the last three contests. The junior added to his team-leading total in the 15th-minute with a shot from 40-yards out after Jack Englebert played it forward for Hughes, who chipped over the goalkeeper for the game's opening goal. Hughes added another six minutes later off a corner kick from Shizu Yohena, heading it in at the near post.
Â
Dartmouth scored its lone goal of the night moments before the weather delay on a Kristian Feed score in the 32nd-minute. The Big Green held a 17 to 10 shot advantage on the night while the Minutemen put eight of their 10 shots on frame. UMass came into the game as the nation's leader in shots on goal percentage.
Â
Brad Moccio put home his first collegiate goal in the 44th-minute to help the Minutemen to a 3-1 advantage. The sophomore headed one in at the near post after an Evan Fournier corner connected with Aidan Kelly at the far post for a shot that was saved and immediately headed in by Moccio.
Â
Five of Zambetti's saves came in the final 45 minutes, including a stop on a breakaway opportunity from Dartmouth's James Wilson in the 59th-minute to keep it a two-goal game.
Â
The Minutemen will begin Atlantic 10 play on Saturday at 7 p.m. on the road at VCU before returning to Rudd Field for non-conference action against UMass Lowell on Tuesday, Sept. 20 at 4 p.m.
