Baltimore- UMBC scored a pair of second half goals, including
the 31st of senior Andrew
Bulls' (Millersville, Md./McDonogh) career as the host
Retrievers defeated New Hampshire, 2-0, in an America East
Conference match played before 2,463 fans and a Fox Soccer national

improved to 4-0-0 for the first time in nine America East

UMBC senior goalkeeper Dan
Louisignau (Wilmington, Del.) made a pair of saves and
posted his seventh shutout of the season and the squad's fourth in
a row. The Retrievers have not allowed a goal in 408 minutes of
action.
Bulls was named UMBC's America East Player of the Game, while
UNH freshman netminder Travis Worra earned the honor for the
visitors.
After a scoreless first half, the Retrievers got on the board
1:57 into the second stanza on an own goal. UMBC junior
midfielder Milo
Kapor (Toronto,Ont.) was deep in the box and attempted to
pass the ball back to a teammate, but the ball struck Wildcat
defender Alex Hussein at the six-yard line and
floated beyond Worra and into the right corner of the
cage.
The goal snapped a string of 265 minutes of scoreless soccer
between the two teams after a pair of 0-0 double overtime draws in
2010. UMBC earned the America East title by advancing on penalty
kicks, 5-4, over UNH on the same field last November.
Bulls scored a beautiful insurance goal in the
82nd minute to seal the victory. Sophomore
forward Pete Caringi
III (Perry Hall, Md./Calvert Hall) hit a long pass from just
inside the midfield stripe on the right wing and Bulls collected
the ball on the left edge of the box 25 yards from the goal. He had
two defenders surrounding him, but beat one to the inside and
blasted a 16-yard bullet into the upper third of the net.
Bulls led all players with six shots, including five on goal,
for the contest. He scored for the third time this season and UMBC
is 3-0-0 when he hits the net. UMBC outshot UNH, 13-11 and Worra
made seven saves.
