Knights Set Shutout Mark in 3-0 Win Over SUNY Canton

Canton, NY – With its fifth straight shutout of the season, the Clarkson University Men's Soccer team set a new program standard for blankings at the beginning of a season as the Golden Knights extended their opponents' scoreless streak to 450 minutes with a 3-0 win over SUNY Canton on Wednesday afternoon.

The Golden Knights, who are now receiving votes in the latest United Soccer Coaches' Division III poll, improved to 5-0 on the year with the victory, while Canton fell to 1-4. Clarkson will be idle for the weekend, and returns home for another non-league game against St. John Fisher on September 20th.

Clarkson's fifth straight shutout to open 2022 surpassed the previous program record of four, accomplished on four other occasions. The Golden Knights most recently began a year with four shutouts in 2018, but also accomplished the feat in 1988, 1982, and 1981.

Canton had a couple early opportunities that were blocked at the top of the box or sailed high of the frame, much like the Golden Knights' early chances flew over the Canton crossbar. However, Clarkson did get on the scoreboard midway through the first half on an impressive individual effort by grad student Bobby Guilfoil. The play started deep in the Clarkson end as Christian Silvano carried the ball up towards midfield and sent a long pass to Guilfoil in the Canton defensive zone. Guilfoil then carried the ball up the right side where two Canton defenders challenged him. He drew them to his right and then circled back with his left, heading back closer to the middle of the field where he fired a hard left-footed shot into the upper corner of the net at 25:11.

Less than 10 minutes later, Clarkson scored a second goal. The play was set up long before when goalkeeper Carter Kladstrup sent a long kick into the Canton end, where the ball was flicked forward and a strong run near the left side of the box resulted in a foul. Clarkson was awarded a direct kick just outside the box from about 10 yards out, and the kick by Nolan Grady scooted through plenty of traffic, finding the foot of Paolo Martino just a few feet away from the goal line, and the junior finished off the play to make it 2-0 at 34:28.

Canton had a few good chances around the 12-minute mark when a corner kick sailed into the box and a few headers nearly found their way in but were cleared away. The ensuing corner kick chance also almost ended in a goal, but was cleared wide, providing a third corner that was sent forward without any further threats from the Roos.

With about 16 minutes remaining, the Roos had a solid chance off with a shot from about 22 yards out by Connor Kelley, but Canton could not finish off the play as the team was whistled for an offsides call.

The final goal of game came in the waning minutes, and it was a painful one for the Roos' goalkeeper. A great thru ball near the midfield in a three-on-three break saw Chris Paucar all by himself in tight against Canton goalkeeper Owen Kwong. The initial stop was made by Kwong, right off his forehead, but the rebound found the foot of Colin Wright, who easily finished off the play around a stunned Kwong at 88:11.

Clarkson finished with an 11-6 edge in shots, and a 7-2 lead in shots on goal. Canton ended up with a 5-4 lead in corner kick chances thanks to getting three opportunities in quick succession. Carter Kladstrup made two saves for his third shutout of the year, and Kwong made four saves.
