BALTIMORE, MD - William and Mary’s men’s soccer team won its seventh game by shutout, defeating Maryland-Baltimore County, 2-0, this afternoon at UMBC Stadium. The win improves the Tribe’s record to 11-6-1 this season, while the Retrievers, held scoreless for the first time all season, fall to 11-6-2.

Senior midfielder Ralph Bean (Devonshire, Bermuda) opened the scoring for the Tribe in the 18th minute, intercepting a UMBC pass and scoring his team-leading 10th goal of the season from nine yards out. With less than five minutes to play in the first half, redshirt-freshman forward Andreas Nydal (McLean, VA) took a pass from senior midfielder Doug Henry (Shorewood, WI) and put the ball into the right side of the net for his sixth goal of the year. The 2-0 halftime score would stand up throughout the second period, as the Tribe defense stood firm to preserve the shutout.

W&M outshot UMBC 9-5, led by Nydal and sophomore back Andrew Terry (Richmond, VA) with two each. Tribe senior goalkeeper Trevor Upton (Richmond, VA) made three saves as he earned his fifth full shutout of the year. Retriever goalkeeper Brian Rowland made five saves in the match.

The Tribe will close out the regular season Saturday, November 9, with an important Colonial Athletic Association match against Old Dominion at 7:00 PM on Busch Field. The contest features the top two teams in the current league standings, both with identical 6-1-1 conference records.
