Three’s Company: Trio of Ducks score to lead Men’s Soccer over Haverford

HOBOKEN, N.J. (September 12, 2018)  – Senior Haddy Abdelhady was the first of three different Ducks to find the back of the net as the Stevens Institute of Technology Men's Soccer team defeated Haverford College 3-1 Wednesday at the DeBaun Athletic Complex.

Freshmen Adam Silva and Justin Kochman scored in the second half to provide a little breathing room for Stevens, who improved to 5-1 on the season.The Ducks have won three straight contests and have won three of the last five meetings between the programs. 

Alex Clark scored late in the match for the Fords, who dropped their second straight to fall to 2-2.

Senior Aaron Henry made four saves to earn his fourth win of the season. Michael Iacono made two saves for Haverford.

Pivotal Point
  • After the opening minutes produced a battle in the midfield through very wet conditions, Abdelhaddy buried a crossing ball from Silva into the back of the net from just outside the six-yard box for the first goal of the game.

Inside the Numbers
  • An evenly-matched contest, Stevens outshot Haverford by one shot, 13-12, with each side posting five shots on net.
  • The teams combined for 13 corners with Stevens holding a slim 7-6 edge.
  • Abdelhady was the lone Duck with multiple shots on net.
  • Silva has posted points in five of his six matches.
  • Kochman's tally in the 66th minute was the Glen Rock native's first collegiate point.

Unsung Heroes
  • "The seniors provided excellent leadership during the rough parts of the game."

From the Sidelines
  • "We took our chances at the right time today."
  • "We struggled at several moments during the game and could have been punished by a very good Haverford side."
  • "Two freshman scorers was pleasing and now we most focus on our opening E8 game on the road at St. John Fisher."

Up Next
  • Stevens hits the road for a pair of weekend fixtures, including the Empire 8 Conference opener against St. John Fisher Saturday.
  • The Ducks defeated the Cardinals twice last season, winning 1-0 in Hoboken to open conference play and then 2-0 in the Empire 8 Conference semifinals.
