DANBURY, Conn. - The Western Connecticut State University defense held the visiting St. Joseph's University Bears to just four shots and zero shots-on-goal, as the Wolves won their first men's soccer game of the season, 2-0, this afternoon at Westside Stadium.  WestConn improves to 1-2-1 and the Bears drop to 0-3.  The Wolves, which received received goals from senior forward Maximus Vigo (Canton, Mich.) and junior midfielder Cristian Boutote (Milford, Conn.), will hos the Wesleyan University Cardinals next on Tuesday at 7 p.m.

WestConn outshot the Bears, 10-0, in the first half but the game was scoreless at intermission thanks to four first-half stops by St. Joseph's goalie Edwin Sacramento and six offside calls against the Wolves.  Vigo opened the scoring in the 54th minute, converting on a penalty kick to give WestConn a 1-0 lead. Boutote netted his first career goal off a corner kick in the 75th minute that he tapped in after the ball had caromed off Joaquin Franco of the Bears.  St. Joseph's got off three decent looks in a four-minute span moments later but WestConn rookie backstop Silas Creaven (Waterbury, Conn.) did not need to make a save to record his first career victory over replacing fellow freshman Makai Smith (Bridgeport, Conn.) at the half.  Sacramento finished with 10 saves for the Bears.
