Judges Hand Down Losing Verdict to Gulls
Sept. 3, 2005
BEVERLY, MA -- Brandeis scored once in each half to get past Endicott in the season opener Saturday evening at Endicott College.
Ed Colburn kicked off the scoring for the Judges (1-0) in the first half assisted by Mike Snyder and Shelton Stewart added an insurance goal with less than twenty minutes remaining in the contest on a blast from the right corner of the 18-yard line.
The Gulls (0-1) applied some early pressure in the second half but could not break through. Freshman Mike DeNuzzo (Guilford, CT) hit the crossbar on a rocket from inside the 18-yard line before Stewart sealed the game with an insurance goal.
Endicott received solid defensive play from Daniel Duvernoy (Hamilton, NY), Eric Booth (Belchertown, MA) and Chris Croteau (Groveland, MA) while Josh Lewis (Groveland, MA) played well up front and Kyle Austin (Keene, NH) stood out at midfield.
The Gulls look to get back on track Monday when they host UMass-Dartmouth at 6:00 P.M.
