<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\nCLAYMONT<\/strong> \u2013 Brandywine gave Archmere all the Auks could handle in their boys soccer matchup on Oct. 10, but the Auks managed two second-half goals in a 2-0 shutout win. The homecoming weekend win snapped a three-game losing streak for the Auks.<\/p>\n Both teams had chances in the opening half, including several relatively short free kicks and a number of corner kicks, but no one was able to score. The Bulldogs opened the second half with some pressure, but Archmere managed to get on the board first.<\/p>\n In the 49th<\/sup> minute, a long pass down the middle got to Jackson Spruance. He tipped the ball in on Brandywine keeper Oscar Aguilar-Camacho, with the pair narrowly missing a collision about eight yards in front of the goal line. The ball got past the keeper and rolled home.<\/p>\n Archmere goalkeeper Dean Sheehan made a diving stop 10 minutes after the goal, and the Bulldogs had a few opportunities to tie as the half moved on. The Auks got some breathing room with nine minutes remaining as Ryan Fiss was able to back tap a crossing pass into the net for the 2-0 advantage.<\/p>\n Brandywine kept the pressure on, earning four corner kicks and taking two more free kicks before the whistle sounded, but Sheehan and the defense kept them off the scoreboard.<\/p>\n Sheehan finished with five saves. Archmere (4-5) is home against Tatnall on Oct. 15 at 3:45 p.m. Brandywine (5-4) hosts Cape Henlopen on Oct. 13 at 4:45 p.m.<\/p>\n Photos by Mike Lang.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
