Bridgewater remains unbeaten on the season as they improve to 4-0.  The Bears have outscored their opponents by a margin of 21-4 over the first four games.

 

Bridgewater led 4-0 at the half as forwards Jose DePina (Boston, Mass.), Matt Palatino (Ludlow, Mass.), Craig Shadduck (Braintree, Mass.) and David Wilson (Charlton, Mass.) each found the back of the net with Mendes assisting on three of the four first half goals.  For DePina it was his team-leading sixth goal of the season.

 

Neri rounded out the scoring with a pair of goals less than a minute apart late in the second half.  The first of his two tallies came at the 82:59 mark with senior midfielder Kazuhisa Miyata (Hyogo, Japan) assisting on the goal.  Neri made it a 6-0 game just 43 seconds later.

 

BSU junior netminder DJ Siewierski (Stow, Mass.) recorded his first career shutout between the pipes for the Bears as he registered one save.  Senior Joe Ferraro (Freehold, N.J.) and sophomore Sean Dorsey (Franklin, Mass.) combined for three saves in goal for the Wildcats.

 

Bridgewater held a 17-6 shot advantage for the game as well as a 7-1 edge in corner kicks.
