HOUGHTON, N.Y. (September 15, 2012) – Junior Stephen Dunbar (Johns Creek, Ga.) headed in a first-half goal that turned out to be the game-winner as the Stevens Institute of Technology men's soccer team topped Houghton College 1-0 in Empire 8 action on Saturday. The win moves the Ducks to 4-2 on the year and marks the second-straight shutout victory for Stevens.

Dunbar scored at the 24:44 mark of the first half on a pass from senior Victor Daza (North Plainfield, N.J.). It was the second score of the year for Dunbar and the second assist of the year for Daza.

Stevens took over three times as many shots as the Highlanders, outshooting the hosts 19-6. The Ducks put eight attempts on net, while Houghton managed to test Stevens goalkeeper Paul Killian (Ellicott City, Md.) just three times. Killian and the Duck defense earned their third shutout of the year and their second-straight.

Besides combining for the only score of the match, Daza and Dunbar led the Stevens attack with four shots each. Senior Zach Adler (McKinney, Texas) and junior Curtis Stecyk (Boulder, Colo.) had three shots apiece for the Ducks.

Sevens will be back in action on Wednesday, when the team will travel to Swarthmore College for a 7 p.m. matchup with the Garnet.
