QUINCY, Mass.- The Eastern Nazarene College men's soccer team suffered a 1-0 loss to Framingham State in non-conference play under the lights at Veterans Memorial Stadium Saturday evening.
The Lions move to 1-1-0 on the season while the Rams jump to 1-1-0 overall with the win.
Framingham State got on the board in the 40th minute to snag a 1-0 advantage just before the halftime break. Jeff Braverman headed home his first goal of the year off of a free kick delivery by Daniel Campos.
Eastern Nazarene mustered one shot in the opening frame while the Rams fired eight shots.
Framingham State outshot the home side 11-6 in the second stanza to finish the match with a 19-7 advantage.
Andrew Nelson (Burtonsville, Md.) and Seth Weaver (Dillsburg, Pa.) each had quality scoring chances in the second half but both were unable to find the back of the cage. Nelson's volley try rolled just past the right post and Weaver's breakaway shot was saved.
Joao Costa (Framingham, Mass.), Nelson and Weaver all attempted two shots in the contest for the Lions.
Senior netminder Jameson MacFarland (Jacksonville, Fla.) turned aside five shots on the night. Josh Arno registered a clean sheet with a three-save effort for the guests.
Looking ahead, Eastern Nazarene continues a stretch of four consecutive home matches September 6 against Wheelock.
