ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON, N.Y. -
Jacob Hartog's goal in the 14th minute off a pass from
Casey Asprooth-Jackson (Rochester, NY) proved to be enough on Tuesday night as the Bard College men's soccer team held off Purchase, 1-0, in a Skyline Conference game.
Bard, 2-2 in the Skyline Conference and 4-7 overall, controlled play in the first half but had only Hartog's strike to show for it.
Purchase, 0-4 in Skyline play and 1-8-1 overall, came on strong in the second half but could not penetrate the Raptors' defense.
Hartog (San Francisco, CA) accounted for eight of Bard's 11 shots on goal. Goalkeeper
Deven Connelly (High Falls, NY) was called on for just two saves, but one, on a strike by Purchase's Michael Beckett, he tipped over the crossbar. It was the Panthers' best chance all night and it came early in the second half.
Bard next hosts Maritime College in another Skyline matchup on Saturday at 1.
