WALTHAM, Mass. – The Brandeis University men's soccer team closed out its 2017 regular season today with a 1-0 win over rival New York University on Gordon Field. The Judges are 13-4, 5-2 in the University Athletics Association (UAA), good for second place. The Violets are 8-7-2, 0-6-1 UAA, finishing eighth in the conference.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Both goalkeepers came up with big first-half saves to keep the game scoreless after 45 minutes.
Brandeis sophomore Greg Irwin (Passaic, N.J./Seton Hall Prep) made a terrific diving save to his left on NYU senior Nic Notaro (Washington, D.C./St Albans School) in the 25^th minute.
In the 42^nd minute, NYU junior Grant Engel (New York, N.Y./Birch Wathen Lenox School) stopped a point-blank shot from Judge junior Andrew Allen (Norfolk, Mass./King Phillip Regional).
Brandeis sophomore Max Breiter (Lincoln, Mass./Lawrence Academy) headed just wide in the 44^th minute to keep the game scoreless.
Early in the second half, Allen got his revenge on Engel. Sophomore back Alex Walter (Londonderry, N.H./Lawrence Academy) played a ball over the top that released Allen one-on-one. Allen deposited it the back of the net at 46:45 for his fourth goal and first game-winner of the season.
The Judges were able to keep NYU at bay the rest of the way, as none of their six second-half shots were put on frame.
