Men’s Soccer Earns Conference Victory over Ursinus, Clackson Nets Lone Goal

SWARTHMORE, Pa. - The Swarthmore College men's soccer team picked up its first conference victory with a 1-0 shutout against Ursinus College on Wednesday night.

Oliver Clackson's second career goal in the 12th minute set the tone as the Garnet dominated possession in the opening half. Swarthmore outshot the Bears 8-1 as they generated all eight of their attempts on goal in the first. 

Max Kral made every save count as he made three crucial stops to keep the Bears off the board. The senior earned his second shutout of the season in a full 90-minutes of action.

HOW IT HAPPENED
- The Garnet opened the scoring in the 12th minute when Clackson played a shot on goal from the left side. The junior tried to connect with Leo Hecht, who cut towards the center of the net, but Hecht faked out the keeper as Clackson's ball found the back of the net. 

- Brandon Cramblit nearly added to the score twice in the 16th and 22nd minutes. The junior had his first attempt stopped by an excellent diving save, while Cramblit's second shot was deflected by a kick save. Antonio Callegari created a chance for himself with a steal at midfield before having his shot attempt saved in the final seconds of the opening half. 

- The Garnet created a scoring chance in the 74th minute when Matthew Loreg played a pass into the box to Toshiro Kenney, who fired a shot just high of the crossbar. Bless Tumushabe then had a header saved after a cross from Kenney.

- Kral went post-to-post to make a crucial save in the 81st minute. The senior then made another massive stop in the 87th minute as he caught a rocket from the right side of the box.
