Providence, R.I. – The Johnson & Wales University men's soccer team defeated Anna Maria, 1-0, in a Great Northeast Athletic Conference contest at the Scotts Miracle-Gro Athletics Complex on Saturday afternoon.

JWU connected on the lone goal of the game at the 73:19 mark. Junior Kyle Metz (St. James, N.Y.) sent a corner kick across the box that deflected off a player and directly to Xavier Carty (Mt. Vernon, N.Y.), who connected with a shot to the back of the net.  The Wildcats had a chance moments later when a shot by Carty hit the post. The AMCATS had their best chance to tie with 13 minutes left as Gregory Cory had a shot on net that was pushed away by junior Ryan Dzierzawski (Oakland, Mich.) to secure the 1-0 victory.

Dzierzawski made four saves in the win for the Wildcats while Dahl had seven stops in net for Anna Maria.
