VILLA PUTS UP HAT TRICK AS HAWKS SHUT DOWN BULLDOGS, 3-0
HARTFORD, CT- Junior forward Carlos Villa (Las Conchas,
Guatemala) found the back of the net three times to score his
fifth, sixth, and seventh goals of the season, as Hartford shutout
Bryant, 3-0, Tuesday night in Connecticut. It was the Bulldogs
fourth loss of the season, as they fall to 1-4-1.
Villa, the team's leading goal scorer, got the Hawks (2-2-2) on
the board early, taking a shot from straight on that beat goalie
Neil Black (Roslyn Heights, N.Y.) making the score 1-0. That would
not be all in the first half for the junior, as Sam Groves (Sutton,
Mass.) found Villa in the 34th minute for his second of
the match and sixth of the season, staking the Hawks to a 2-0 lead
at the half.
Early in the second half, Vernon Perinchief (Southampton,
Bermuda) crossed a ball from the right side through the penalty box
again to Villa, who fired it into the back of the net to complete
the hat trick. The Bulldogs put eight shots on net, but all were
turned away by two different Hartford keepers, as Nenad Cudic (Novi
Sad, Serbia) made six stops while Luke Citriniti (Niskayuna, N.Y.)
saved two. Bulldogs' leading goal scorer Ben Mello (Rehoboth,
Mass.) recorded two shots on net in the loss.
Bryant takes the field again on Friday night when they travel to
play Old Dominion (8 p.m.).
