Box Score ROCKVILLE CENTRE, N.Y. (Sep. 17, 2014) - A goal in the 32nd minute was the difference as Caldwell University defeated the Molloy College men's soccer team on Wednesday night, 1-0. Although the Lions dominated in most facets of the game tonight, the Cougars recorded what counted and secured a narrow victory to improve to 3-2 overall. The Lions slipped to 0-3-1 on the year.
The Lions led in corner kicks (7-0), shots (19-5) and shots on-goal (7-3). One of Caldwell's three shots on-goal touched the back of the netting, proving to be the margin the Cougars needed.
