WESTFIELD, Mass. -- Cameron Walty's first half goal was the difference, as Bridgewater State University held the Westfield State University Owls at bay, 1-0 in a key MASCAC soccer match at Alumni Field as part of the Owls Family and Champions weekend on Saturday.
Walty dribbled in from the left side from about 45 yards out, cut towards the middle as Ryan Healy made a nice overlapping run to help freeze the defense as Walty fired a shot from the top of the 18 that went inside the left post at 36:24.
