Box Score

MANCHESTER, N.H. - Sophomore Ross McGibney (Westport, Conn.) registered the game-winning goal for the second match in a row to propel the Southern Connecticut State University men's soccer team to a 1-0 shutout of Saint Anselm in the Northeast-10 Conference opener for both teams on Wednesday. McGibney's marker came in the 69th minute and allowed the Owls to remain perfect on the year at 3-0.

Southern keeper Chris Rybacki (Putnam, Conn.) stopped two shots to earn his second clean sheet in three outings.

SCSU held a 20-8 advantage in shots on goal for the contest.
