Box Score PAXTON, Mass. – The Norwich men's
soccer team ended its four-game losing streak with a 3-1 win over
Anna Maria on Saturday in Great Northeast Athletic Conference

Sophomore midfielder Eric Weir tallied his
second goal of the season in the 24th minute when he
headed home a crossing pass from senior team captain Ryan
Robertson to give Norwich a 1-0 lead.
Anna Maria came back to tie the game in the 58th
minute when Bryan Blomgren converted on a penalty kick after a
AMCAT player was taken down in the penalty area.
However, freshman Derek Morin gave the Cadets
the lead right back less than 1:30 later when he buried a long
cross off a corner kick from Joe Young.
Junior Garrett Shufelt provided an insurance
tally in the 78th minute with his team-leading fourth
goal of the season by putting home a rebound off an initial shot by
Weir.
Sophomore Alex Toomey picked up the win in net
