Box Score NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Daquan King (Plainville, Conn.) and Ross McGibney (Dublin, Ireland) netted first half goals to propel the Southern Connecticut State University men's soccer team to a 2-0 victory over Stonehill in Northeast-10 Conference action.


Stephen Sasso (Orange, Conn.) stopped all four Stonehill shots to earn his fourth shutout of the season.

The Owls got on the board first in the 7th minute.  King scored his second goal in as many matches by booting a Jonas Folstad (Trondheim, Norway) touch past Skyhawks goalkeeper Adam Colella.

In the 29th minute, Ross McGibney (Dublin, Ireland) added to the lead.  The senior co-captain knocked a pass from Kevin Joslyn (Norwalk, Conn.) into the lower right corner of the net from inside the box.
