The Morrisville State College men’s soccer team came away with a 1-0 victory against visiting conference rival Wells College, Saturday evening in Morrisville, N.Y., in a game that was largely battled in the midfield.
Sanley Pierre-Louis (Gaithersburg, Md.) and Jacob Chase (Cooperstown, N.Y.) teamed up for the lone goal of the contest at 28:35, as Pierre-Louis gathered a pass through the defense from Chase and buried the ball in the corner of the net.
With the goal, Pierre-Louis now holds the top spot outright for goals in the North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) with 11.
