College Sports Roundup -- Hawk men win first; Franklin Pierce string snapped
Freshman Sean Smith of Hampstead scored a goal off a corner kick in the 59th minute as the St. Anselm College men's soccer team earned its first victory Tuesday with a surprising 2-1 Northeast-10 Conference decision against previously unbeaten Saint Michael's College in Manchester.
The Hawks are 1-3 while the Purple Knights fell to 4-1.
George Lamptey got the Hawks on the board before halftime with a penalty kick goal as his shot found the top left corner of the net past Saint Michael's goalkeeper Logan Kingman.
The goal was set-up by Joseph Rispoli who was tripped up after gaining possession on a feed from Kevin Greene of Londonderry.
Smith made it 2-0 at the 58:47 on a pass from Alex Germaine of Derry.
St. Anselm goalkeeper Eric Moriarty of Center Harbor had eight saves.
