Box Score

PHILADELPHIA – A goal in 76^th minute by Giancarlo Vaccaro lifted the Dragons over Elon on Saturday at Vidas Field, 1-0. The Dragons completed their second shutout win of the season to notch three points in conference play.

The first half of the match was a back-and-forth affair, with both teams taking three shots a piece. After both teams returned to the pitch for the second half, it seemed as if it was going to be identical to the first.

However, a nicely played ball by Carles Aliberch set Vaccaro up to finish the play outside the 18-yard box. With one touch, Vaccaro beat a defender and took a shot, notching the second goal of his junior campaign.
