\Both of the Cougars goals — one in each half — came from just inside the left-wing corner of the box.
The first half goal came from Anthony Torres, who streaked down the left side, barely gaining a step on the defender, then slamming the ball inside the near post.
Later, another senior, Solomon Joel, was a bit wide of the box, yet with another defender running to cover up another’s defensive mistake. However, Joel had time had time to take a shot to the left, then went to the far post to skip the goal past the keeper.
Meanwhile, Cougars goalie Yoel Vazquez needed to make a pair of difficult back-to-back saves midway through in the second half to preserve the shutout.
