Ardron Scores Two As Sailfish Blank Bears In Victory

RALEIGH, N.C. - The Palm Beach Atlantic men's soccer team finished its North Carolina road trip tonight against the Shaw University Bears. The No. 13 ranked Sailfish have yet to concede a goal as they handled Shaw 3-0 to move to 2-0 on the year. 

The Sailfish made one change to their opening night starting lineup, as Alejandro Estrada started for Thursday's goal scorer Harry Gardner. Estrada had the best chance early in the first half as he was in behind one-on-one with the Shaw keeper but was unable to cleanly get around him and ultimately had his shot cleared off the line by the last defender. Striker Nemanja Zivanovic had his best goal-scoring chance saved as the 'Fish applied pressure throughout to the Shaw defense. The already difficult task got even harder for the Bears when they received a red card in the 27th minute. 

After a long stretch of PBA control, the breakthrough finally came with four minutes remaining in the opening half. Giancarlo Dostilio was released down the right side of the Shaw defense and was able to square a ball across the box to Harrison Ardron who easily put the ball into an open net to put the Sailfish ahead.

It took just seven minutes into the second half for the Sailfish to strike again against the man-down Bears side. Samuel Richards played a long ball over the top of the Shaw defense and Ardron was able to gather and chip the ball over the Bears' keeper for his second goal of the night. The second half was one-way traffic as PBA possessed the ball and came forward time after time.  

Estrada was denied a second time in the second half by the Shaw keeper and Fred Ferreira had a shot cleared off the line by a defender but it was defender Alesandro Granados who broke through for the third goal. PBA had the ball outside the Shaw box and the ball was played across to the leftback who let a left-footed shot fly that left the Bear's keeper standing still as it flew into the right side of the net. PBA outshot the Bears 18-4 on the night as Shaw was able to get just one shot on net.

PBA moves to 2-0 on the year and will return home for their Rinker Athletic Campus opener against Lander on Sep. 2.
