BABSON PARK, Mass.--Junior Tyler Carlos (Prospect, Mass.) notched the only goal of the match in the 42nd minute, and classmate Stephen Donato (Morgansville, N.J.) made it stand up with two saves as Babson College defeated visiting Eastern Connecticut State University, 1-0, in non-conference men's soccer action on Sunday afternoon at Hartwell-Rogers Field.

With its fifth win in the last six games, Babson moves to 12-5-0 overall, while Eastern Connecticut, which saw its nine-game road unbeaten streak come to an end, drops to 9-5-3 on the year.

The Beavers started fast, generating 11 shots over the opening 20 minutes of play. Sophomore Caleb Long (Kingston, Mass.) had his strike from 20 yards pushed away by Warriors' sophomore goalkeeper Greg Walton (Brunswick, Maine) in the third minute, and senior Patrick Ellis (Braintree, Mass.) was denied by Walton on his attempt from the edge of the six-yard box following a restart in the eighth minute.

Eastern Connecticut's best scoring chance of the match came in the 23rd minute following a foul at the top of the box. Sophomore Nicholas Warren (Southbury, Conn.) blasted a low shot on the ensuing free kick through the wall, only to have Donato knock it down and then smother the loose ball in the goal mouth.

The Green and White finally broke through late in the first half on Carlos' third goal in the last four games. After playing the ball to first-year Justin Kaplan (Medway, Mass.), Carlos received the ball back and drove towards goal, beating Walton with a blast from the edge of the six-yard box.

The best scoring opportunities for both sides in the second half came in the early minutes of the stanza. Eastern Connecticut first-year Xavier Doran (Hebron, Conn.) missed just wide of the left post in the 47th minute and had another attempt saved by Donato at the 53:13 mark. Carlos had his left-footed strike glance off the outside of the post in the 49th minute for Babson, and senior Justin Laurenzo (Park Ridge, N.J.) saw his header off a cross from Ellis sail just over the crossbar in the 54th minute.

The Warriors mustered just one shot over the final 35 minutes of the match, as first-year Bobby Gardner's (Lunenburg, Mass.) attempt was well wide of the target in the 79th minute.

Walton finished with four saves on the day for Eastern Connecticut.

The Beavers held a 23-7 edge in total shots and attempted 10 of the game's 11 corner kicks.

Babson returns to action on Wednesday when it hosts Lasell College in its final regular-season home game at 3 p.m., while Eastern Connecticut welcomes Plymouth State University to campus next Saturday at 1 p.m.
