Grady's Late Goal Lifts Knights Past Vassar, 1-0

Poughkeepsie, NY – A goal in the final minutes of Saturday's contest allowed the Clarkson University Men's Soccer team to claim a weekend sweep, as the Golden Knights earned a 1-0 victory over Vassar College in conference action.

The Golden Knights improved to 8-4-0 overall and 4-3-0 in conference games, while the Brewers fell to 6-4-4 and 2-2-2. Clarkson is back at home next weekend when the team hosts Rensselaer.

Only one shot was taken in the first 18 minutes of Saturday's contest, as Zachary Appel's shot went high in the seventh minute. Both the Brewers and Knights picked up a shot on goal near the midway point, as Josh Morelli turned aside Owen Fauth's attempt, and Eric McKean's shot was denied by Vassar goalkeeper Vasilis Ganasoulis. Vassar finished with a modest 5-4 lead in shots in the first half.

Vassar had a flurry of shots in the first portion of the second half, but none of them found their way on to the frame. Clarkson was likewise snake bit, as its first three shots also failed to fit between the posts. That changed late in the second half as Eric McKean located Nolan Grady, and the senior combination was able to finish off the play at 87:05, giving the Knights a 1-0 victory.

Vassar had narrow leads in both shots (9-8) and shots on goal (4-3), and the two teams were tied in corner kicks at 1-1. Morelli made four saves for his fifth shutout of the year. Ganasoulis made two saves in just under 87 minutes, while Aidan Wisherd did not need to make any saves in his 3:13 of playing time.
