WENHAM, Mass. - The Hartford men's soccer team picked up a huge three points on Saturday night defeating Gordon College 1-0 in the Conference of New England (CNE) opener. The game was very physical throughout with the first shot coming in the 26th minute with junior Cristian Vitti (Stamford, Conn.) making the save for Hartford. The lone goal of the contest would come in the 28th minute as a cross found the foot of a center back for the Scots who rocketed it into the wrong net to give the Hawks the lead. Gordon would get two chances two minutes later with Vitti making a save and then Luke Lindas hitting the woodwork as the game stayed 1-0. Freshman Giancarlo Bacabac (Somers, Conn.) had a chance in the 35th minute that went just high. Caio Brito for the Scots had the final chance in the 45 minute with Vitti denying the chance to keep the lead safe.
