DUDLEY, Mass.  – Suffolk men's soccer converted a pair of penalty kicks to two goals and Nathan Harlow stopped all six shots he faced to shutout Nichols, 2-0, in Conference of New England (CNE) action at Michael J. Vendetti Field.  

THE BASICS
SCORE: Suffolk 2 | Nichols 0
RECORDS: Suffolk (6-4-3, 3-0-1 CNE) | Nichols (3-8-1, 0-3-1 CNE)  

HOW IT HAPPENED
A good penalty kick by Francisco Valck at the 38:26 mark allowed Suffolk to take a 1-0 lead into the half.  

Suffolk doubled the distance with its second good PK of the day. This time Dylan Trachtenberg converted the penalty kick 3:27 into the second half to pad the Rams advantage to a pair, 2-0. 

The score stood still from there as Nathan Harlow stopped the four shots he faced and Franco Barreto Santana denied the lone Rams attempt on target in the last minute.
