Box Score
PRINCETON, N.J. (11/3/15) - Junior Josh Haberman earned his first career win by shutout and Princeton got goals from four different players, including two off the bench as the men's soccer team posted a 4-0 shutout of Drexel in the final non-conference game of the season.
The Tigers scored 43 seconds apart in the 25th minute, and added one more in the final minute of the first half, that saw Princeton outshoot Drexel 11-2.
Senior Brendan McSherry tallied his fifth goal of the season to open the scoring at 24:09. The play got started off of a corner kick as the ball pinballed around in the box before senior Josh Miller settled the ball on the left side and pushed it back to McSherry around the top of the left 18-yard box and he fired it in on the short side.
In his first start of the season, senior Jack Hilger scored his first marker of the season. Junior defender Patrick Barba and senior Nico Hurtado worked a give-and-go before Barba slipped the ball into the 6-yard box for Hilger at the last second and he put it into the right upper 90.
Sophomore Harry Heffernan scored his first career goal in the 44th minute when he headed the ball off the post and into the back of the goal. Daniel Bowkett moved from right to left across the field but being smothered he found Miller on the left side and Miller centered for the Heffernan goal.
Bowkett was responsible for Princeton's final goal, his third of the season, in the 64th minute. As the Dragons tried to the clear the ball out of the attacking third, junior Brian Costa headed the ball down to sideline. Freshman Sean McSherry got to it and took his time before lofting the ball into the center of the field where Bowkett shot past his defender and goalkeeper Jacob Jordan.
Princeton finished the game with 17 shots to Drexel's eight. The Dragons took one more corner kick, 4-3.
Haberman made three saves in his first collegiate win. This was his third start of the season.
In all, 10 players came in off the bench in the final non-conference game of the season. The bench put up eight of the team's 17 shots, score two of its goals and two of its assists.
The Tigers travel to Penn on Saturday, Nov. 7 for a 7 p.m., game with the Quakers. The team then returns home for the regular-season finale on Saturday, Nov. 7 against Yale.
