READING, Pa.- On the heels of a tightly contested 2-0 setback at the hands of Muhlenberg on Wednesday evening, the Immaculata University men's soccer team returned to the field on Saturday evening to square off against another talented non-conference foe in the Albright College Lions. After a scoreless first half, Immaculata got the goal it was looking for just over 15 minutes into the second half to earn its first victory of the young season over Albright by a final of 1-0.

How it Happened:

• In the first half, the two sides were even in shots with four shots a piece, however, Immaculata ended the opening stanza with a slight 3-1 edge in shots on goal as well as corner kicks. Unfortunately, the Albright defense was up to the task of slowing down the Mighty Mac offense in the first half as the game went to the halftime break still even at 0-0.
• In the 61^st minute, the steady pressure applied by the Immaculata offense paid dividends as Nick Boule found the back of the net with his first goal of the season to give the Macs a 1-0 lead with just under 30 minutes to play in the contest.
• The Immaculata defense worked hard to allow this one goal to be enough for the Macs to earn the victory allowing Albright just seven shots all evening with just two shots on goal, which Mikey Kalpokas handled well to register the shutout victory between the pipes. His counterpart, Billy Mullen had a busy night between the pipes for Albright making seven saves to try and slow down the Immaculata offense.
