BOSTON, Mass. – Three first-half goals enabled the Johnson & Wales University men's soccer team to defeat Wentworth Institute of Technology, 3-0, in a Conference of New England contest Wednesday night.
With the win the Wildcats improve to 5-3-3 (3-1), while the Leopards fall to (2-7-4 (1-3).

- At the 20:10 mark, Johnson & Wales took a 1-0 lead on a Chad Parente goal. Parente capitalized on a Leopard turnover and put his shot to the upper right corner.
- Just over seven and a half minutes later, Johnson & Wales upped its lead to 2-0 on an own goal. Off a free kick, the ball headed toward the box where it was inadvertently headed into the back of the net by a Wentworth defender.
- The Wildcats went up 3-0 with 1:06 left in the half. Off a corner kick, the ball was loose in the box where Jordan Thibodeau gained possession and scored to the upper center of the net.
- Wentworth kept the Wildcats off the board in the second half as Giovanni Ruggeri made two stops. Ruggeri came on in relief of Mason Brooks who played the first half and made one save.
