Joe Scanlon scored the game's only goal with under two minutes remaining to lift the Misericordia University men's soccer team to a 1-0 win over Arcadia in their season opener, Friday at Mangelsdorf Field.

Joe DiGirolomo added the assist and Andrew Loyd made four saves to earn the shutout.

The Cougars held a 17-5 advantage in shots and finally cashed in on their final scoring chance.

Midway through the first half, the Cougars had three near-misses.

After a Scanlon header went over the crossbar, the Arcadia keeper made a point-blank save on Tyler Mensch from eight-yards out.

Cody Hack followed by rolling a shot through the box that went just wide of the right post.

MU will host Ursinus, Saturday at 2:00.
