NORTH ANDOVER, MA (September 26, 2004) – Diego Gabadian scored two goals and dished out two assists as No. 19 Merrimack College defeated Goldey-Beacom College, 4-1, Sunday afternoon in non-conference men’s soccer action in Massachusetts.

 

Senior Matt DiGiacobbe (Newark, DE) scored the lone goal off a pass from junior Jason Carty (Newark, DE) for the Lightning (2-7), who were outshot 13-5 in the loss.

 

Rob Maiocco opened the scoring at 8:10 for Merrimack (8-1) before Donnie Aylward made it 2-0 just 2:16 later. Gabadian converted a penalty kick 1:16 after the second goal to make it 3-0 Merrimack before DiGiacobbe scored at 13:39 for GBC to cut the deficit to 3-1. The game remained that way until Gabadian scored his second goal at 57:38 to cap the scoring and ruin any chance of a Lightning comeback.

 

Senior goalkeeper Bryan Rudden (Landenberg, PA) made three saves before being replaced by freshman Rob Garofalo (Lindenwold, NJ) with until 10 minutes remaining in the contest.

 

The Lightning return to action Tuesday when they travel to Pennsylvania to take on Shippensburg University at 3:30 p.m.
