Oakland Shuts Out Belmont, 2-0 -- Box Score
ROCHESTER, Mich. - Matt Dudley scored a goal and recorded an assist, while the defense posted its fifth consecutive shutout as Oakland defeated Belmont, 2-0, in men's soccer action to stay in first place in the Horizon League standings Saturday night at the Oakland Soccer Field. The shutout streak matches the fourth-longest streak in program history.
"Credit to Belmont, they are a much better team than their record indicates," said head coach Eric Pogue. "I knew we were going to have a tough game on our hands. We were lucky enough to get an early goal from Dudley and I think we played a really good second half. We pressured them more and (Matt) Rickard came in and sealed the game which took some of the pressure off. I thought the second half we did a much better job. That shows a maturing team, early in the season I don't think we do that but the defensive mindset of the entire team is paying dividends." Read more
