MANCHESTER, NH – Southern New Hampshire University registered its third straight shutout by finding the back of the net once in each half to secure a 2-0 victory over The College of Saint Rose in a Northeast-10 Conference men's soccer match at Larkin Field this afternoon.

The Penmen (5-1/2-0 NE-10), who held a 27-3 advantage in shots and an 11-2 edge in corner kicks for the contest, got on the board in the fourth minute when junior forward Adrian Schippers scored his team-leading fifth marker of the season off a feed from graduate midfielder Gabe Mercier.

Southern New Hampshire had an opportunity to make it a 2-0 ballgame on a penalty kick by junior midfielder Kevin Woods (Alyth, Scotland), but, freshman keeper Patrik Ohlsson kept the Golden Knights (1-4/0-2 NE-10) within reach by turning aside the attempt.

The Penmen gave themselves some breathing room with just over 14 minutes remaining in the game as sophomore midfielder Daniel Hernandez buried his shot in the open net after Ohlsson came off his line to break up the previous play.

Ohlsson finished with a season-high eight saves for Saint Rose, while senior keeper Sean Lambert registered his third shutout of the year behind three stops for Southern New Hampshire.

The Golden Knights are scheduled to travel to Franklin Pierce University on Tuesday for a 7:00 pm league match in Rindge, NH. The Penmen will begin a three-game road trip on Tuesday when they meet the University of New Haven at 4:00 pm.
