THE LEAD— Thanks to a late Stephane Fevry (Haverhill, Mass.) score at 82:59, the Salem State men's soccer team earned a crucial 2-1 Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference (MASCAC) victory at Worcester State Saturday afternoon.

HOW IT HAPPENED

  • Less than 20 minutes into the first (17:21), Worcester State got on the board first thanks to an Xavi Alavarado score. After the early Worcester goal, Salem's offense stayed aggressive the rest of the way, outshooting Worcester, 7-3, with three of the shots being on net. However, the Vikes could not find an equalizer as the hosts took a 1-0 lead into halftime.
  • Shortly into the second at 53:46, Iago De Sousa-Vieira (Medford, Mass.) potted the equalizer after coralling a loose ball on a throw-in outside the penalty box. As the second half continued, both squads played hard, but at 82:59, Fevry found the back of the net for the 2-1 Salem lead. After putting on a couple moves on a Worcester State defender near the box, the sophomore midfielder gave himself enough room to rifle in a shot at the top of the box past a diving Tobias Schneider. 
  • For the remainder of the second, Salem's defense held Worcester to zero shots and earned an eventual 2-1 MASCAC win. 

INSIDE THE NUMBERS

  • De Sousa-Vieira's score is his team-leading 11th goal of the season and is now tied for second in the MASCAC. He has now scored in three straight contests.
  • Fevry's game-winner is the first of his career. His goal is fifth of the season, which surpassed his previous high (four). 
  • Marcelo Silva (Marlborough, Mass.) got the start in net for Salem and ended the day with three saves.
  • Schneider ended the match with 10 stops for the hosts.
  • Salem State outshot Worcester State, 25-7. The Blue and Orange also held the advantage in corners, 5-1.
  • The Vikings extended their unbeaten streak over the Lancers to five games (4-0-1). 

UP NEXT

  • Salem State returns home for a non-conference matchup on Thursday, October 23, at 7:00 p.m. when the squad hosts Lasell.
