LYNDONVILLE, Vt. – A lone goal in the first half by Vermont Technical College was the difference-maker Sunday afternoon as the Knights defeated the Southern Vermont College men's soccer team 1-0 in the second day of the Lyndon State College Kick-Off Tournament at Lyndon Athletics Field.

Knight senior Joaquin Currier-Cubero (Danville, Vermont) scored the game-winning goal at 27:15 of the first half off a pass from freshman Yohan Avila (Barre, Vermont) from the right wing.

Junior Darian Calverley (Attleboro, Mass.) recorded his first win of the season (1-0-1) in the Vermont Tech goal while SVC freshman goalie Cody Gross (Fair Lawn, New Jersey) stopped eight shots in the loss (0-2).
