COLLEGEVILLE, Pa. – Senior forward John

midfielder Bill
McGuiness (Forty Fort, Pa./Wyoming Valley West) scored
goals as The University of Scranton men's soccer team
defeated Ursinus College, 2-0, on Wednesday evening at Patterson

The victory was the second straight for Scranton and it marked

Spadaro's second of the season and sixth of his career.
Sophomore forward Nick
Paganelli (Ossining, N.Y./Fordham Preparatory) picked
up an assist on Spadaro's goal, his second assist of the
season and of his career.
McGuiness converted a corner kick in the 66th
minute to give the Royals an insurance goal following a yellow card
in the penalty area on an Ursinus player. He now has four goals on
the season and 20 for his career. He also has 53 career points (20
goals, 13 assists). He now has eight game-winning goals in his
career.

save for the first shutout of his career. The Royals held a 17-7
advantage in shots over the Bears (1-4).
