Box Score

CHICOPEE, Mass. - The Emmanuel College Men's Soccer Team posted its 8th shutout of the 2011 season with a 4-0 non-conference win over Elms College on Monday night. The Saints got two goals and an assist from sophomore forward Allan Parrelli (Reading, Mass.) en route to the win. With the victory, Emmanuel improves to 6-3-4 on the season, while Elms slips to 3-7 overall.

The sides played to a scoreless tie until late in the opening period when Parrelli fed classmate Ryan Brady (Springfield, Vt.) a pass through the middle of the six yard box, which he placed in the top right corner of the net to give the Saints a 1-0 lead at the 32:19 mark. This was Brady's first goal of his collegiate career.

Emmanuel struck again when Parrelli scored off a rebound on Jeremy Scanlon's (Belmont, Mass.) shot during a corner kick service in the 40th minute to extend the lead to 2-0, heading into the break.

Parrelli cashed in again on the scoring for the Saints in the 72nd minute when he beat a defender down the right sideline and drilled the ball into the far left corner to stretch the lead to 3-0, Emmanuel. This was Parrelli's 8th goal of the season.

Sophomore midfielder Juan Levy (Andover, Mass.) then capped the scoring with a goal in the 87th minute to seal the 4-0 win. This was also Levy's first collegiate marker.

Elms was outshot 11-1 in the first 45 minutes, but had four opportunities in the second stanza, the closest coming on a booming shot from sophomore defender Robert Watson (Enfield, Conn.) that Saints' freshman goalkeeper Garrett Charette (West Springfield, Mass.) saved diving to his left on the short side of the goal.

Charette finished with a pair of saves in the winning effort, notching his 4th shutout of the season. Elms College senior goalkeeper Ryan Sullivan (Agawam, Mass.) registered seven saves. Parrelli and Alexander Niski (Oxford, Conn.) totaled two shots on target each.

Elms returns to New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) action on Saturday, Oct. 8 when it hosts Southern Vermont College at 2:00 p.m. at Leary Field. Emmanuel will host Suffolk University on Roberto Clemente Field on Wednesday, Oct. 5, at 7:00 p.m.
