HOW IT HAPPENED:

Ward opened the scoring in the 38th minute when he delivered a low shot past Vikings netminder Christopher Jimenez (Nashua, N.H.). Ward connected again off a Cody Elliott (Gorham, Maine) pass with a shot to the lower right corner in the 71st minute.

Saint Joseph's dominated possession from wire to wire and held advantages in shots (11-2), shots on goal (6-1), and corner kicks (5-1) in the triumph.

THE KEEPERS:

SJC junior David Walbridge (Hampden, Mass.) turned away the only shot he faced to notch his fourth shutout of the season. Jimenez made four saves in the losing effort.
