The Ephs (3-0-1) got on the board in the 39th minute when Gaston Kelly scored off his own rebound. The Ephs scored again just seconds later in the 39th minute when Babson (5-2-0) keeper Peter Crowly mishandled a cross from Patrick Ebobisse. Crowly had three saves in one half of play for the Beavers.

User Kushaina scored the final goal for the Ephs in the 58th minute. Kushaina received a through ball from Peter Christman and finished on keeper Jackson Klein. Klein, who started the second half for the Beavers, had three saves in one half of play.

Overall, the Ephs outshot the Beavers 19 to 9, and had an advantage in corner kicks of 7 to 5.

"We are very pleased with the result," remarked Coach Russo, "Our guys maintained a good intensity, and played with great ball speed."

The Ephs return to the field next Saturday against NESCAC opponent Colby College.
