Wheaton Captures 2006 NEWMAC Men's Soccer Championship

NORTON, Mass.--  Junior Trevor Cote's goal in the 13th minute of action proved to be the only marker that top-seeded Wheaton would need to post a 1-0 victory over second-seeded Babson in the 2006 NEWMAC Men's Soccer Championship match Sunday afternoon.  

The Lyons (12-4-4) presented 13th-year Head Coach Matt Cushing with his 200th victory with the triumph and claimed the NEWMAC automatic bid into the NCAA Division III Championships.

Senior Matt Pachniuk picked up the shutout win in goal for Wheaton with four saves, while junior Chris Necklas faced only one shot on goal for the Beavers, who falls to 12-6-3 overall with the setback.
