Men's Soccer Edges Past McDaniel 1-0

Njie's second half strike enough for win in Conference home opener.

CHESTERTOWN, Md. – Washington College men's soccer played host to the McDaniel Green Terror in a Centennial Conference matchup Sunday afternoon. The game was originally slated for yesterday but moved due to the weather from Tropical Storm Ophelia. Neither team could get much going offensively in the first half as both goalies remained untested at the break. Just under twenty minutes into the second half, Katim Njie fired home up a loose ball in the box to give Washington the lead. That would be all the Shoremen needed for a 1-0 home win.

How It Happened
- Neither team could do much on offense in the first half both keepers were never forced to make a save. The one opportunity from the opening 45 minutes came to McDaniel's AJ Reta as he was able to control a loose ball inside the box but pulled his shot just wide. 
 
-The second half continued with little offense until the 62nd minutes when Washington's Katim Njie struck the back of the net after latching on to a loose ball in the box. Njie's effort was the game's first shot on target. 
 
-Neither team managed much going forward following the goal. In the 80th minute, Njie worked his way into the McDaniel penalty area, dribbling through a defender before firing high and wide of the target. 
 
-McDaniel's best effort of the evening came in the final two minutes. After a series of crosses into the box, AJ Nordone headed a bouncing ball onto Anthony Pinto's right-hand post.
