Providence, R.I.--Sophomore goalkeeper Elhadji Ndoye (Cranston, R.I.) made three saves as Rhode Island College lost, 3-0, vs. Coast Guard at Alumni Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
 
THE BASICS
Coast Guard 3, Rhode Island College 0
Coast Guard (10-3-1)
Rhode Island College (9-3-1)
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
• RIC came up empty on six first half shots and Ndoye was tested early on as the Bears totaled 11 shots in the first 45 minutes.
 
• After a Coast Guard redirected shot in the 43^rd minute, a foul on a loose ball awarded the visitors with a penalty kick attempt. Ndoye dove to his left to make the save to keep the game scoreless.
 
• However, the visitors broke through with seven seconds left in the opening stanza to go into halftime up by a goal.
 
• That would prove to be the game-winner as RIC was unable to mount any offensive momentum, which led to the club's first shutout setback this fall.
 
• Two more goals came for the Bears in the second half to seal the Anchormen's fate.
 
• Coast Guard junior goalie John Putnam (Halfmoon, N.Y.) recorded his fourth shutout and made six saves in a winning effort (7-3).
 
• Ndoye took the loss (2-1).
