Box Score

TEANECK, N.J. -- The Fairleigh Dickinson men's soccer team picked up a much-needed three points in the Northeast Conference standings after posting a 1-0 shutout over LIU Brooklyn Sunday at University Stadium. With the victory, the Knights improve to 8-6-1 (1-2-1 NEC), while the Blackbirds fall to 5-8-2 (2-2-1 NEC) overall.

The difference in the contest came in the early seconds of the 63rd minute, as a streaking Nico Wright (St. Catherine, Jamaica/Jamaica College) down the right side delivered a perfect cross to sophomore Simon Doherty (West Lothian, Scotland/West Calder), who found the back of the net for his third goal of the season.

FDU dominated possession all game long en route to holding a 19-2 advantage in shots, including 11-0 over the opening 45 minutes.

Senior goalkeeper Jacob Lissek (Highlands Ranch, Colo./Rock Canyon) picked up his fifth clean sheet on the year and was tested only once.

The Knights will return to action Friday, Nov. 1 when they host St. Francis Brooklyn in a pivotal NEC contest. Seven seniors will be honored before the 7 p.m. game, as they will be playing their final home game at University Stadium.
