Notes: Houghton (11-2) upset the 12th-ranked Raiders, 2-0, avenging a 1-0 loss at Roberts earlier in the season. Sanjeev Parmar opened the scoring in the ninth minute after stealing the ball deep in Roberts’ end. Dribbling to his left at the 18, Parmar used the outside of his right foot to slip a shot back inside the right post. Will Cushing gave the Highlanders some breathing room in the second half, deflecting a 15-yard shot off a Roberts’ defender and into the net. Houghton’s defense stifled the Raiders’ attack, while the offensive pressure created numerous scoring chances. The Highlanders, who held an 11-5 advantage in shots on goal, just missed on several other opportunities. Tim Mayhle made five saves for Houghton. Richard Goddard made nine saves for Roberts Wesleyan.

Notes: Houghton opened the scoring in the 5th minute when Tinsley's corner kick found the head of Toohig, who found the back of the net for the third straight game. The Highlanders looked to have pushed the lead to 2-0 wth five minutes to go in the first half when David Bancroft ripped a shot from 15 yards out. The ball deflected out of the goal after hitting a support at the back of the net. The officials declared "no goal," saying the shot hit the left post. Videotape clearly shows the ball reaching the back of the net before bouncing out. Tyler Stevenson did give Houghton a 2-0 lead in the 65th minute, following a hard shot by Eddie Acker that the keeper couldn't handle.

Notes: Houghton, ranked 14th in the NAIA, needed two goals in the final minutes to put away a competitive Geneva team.

Toohig settled the ball on the right and sent a shot into the upper near corner. Late in the game Bancroft made a run down the right and centered to Sanjeev Parmar, who redirected the shot past the keeper to give Houghton some breathing room. Bancroft scored his eighth goal of the season two minutes later when Todd Bradley found him all alone on the left. Bancroft took his time, placing a perfect shot into the upper right corner.

Notes: Junior forward Todd Bradley (Solon, Ohio) scored three first-half goals and added two assists as Houghton (N.Y.) College improved to 6-0-0 with a 5-0 win over visiting Teikyo-Post University on Saturday.

The Highlanders, ranked No. 1 in NAIA Region IX and No. 11 in the NAIA National poll, have yet to allow a goal this season.

They didn't waste any time getting on the board, Saturday. Just seven minutes into the contest, Bradley took a nicely played pass from David Bancroft (Stockport, England), found himself one-on-one with the keeper, and sent a shot just inside the post.

Bradley and Bancroft teamed up again in the 27th minute when Bancroft's cross from the right glanced off the back of a player to a waiting Bradley just inside the 18. Bradley volleyed a low shot through a maze of players and past the sprawling keeper.

The two players switched roles for the next Houghton tally. Bradley made a run down the right and centered to Bancroft who quickly redirected the shot into the net from three yards out.

Bradley didn't need any help on his third goal. In the 41st minute, he stole a pass from a Teikyo Post defender 30 yards from the net, dribbled in all alone and ripped a low shot past the keeper.

Freshman Dan Wesche (Atlanta, Ga. / Newnan HS) scored his first career goal in the 81st minute off an assist from Bradley to close out the scoring.

Notes: In an evenly played contest against the NAIA's 24th ranked team, Highlanders freshman substitution Eddie Acker netted the game winner with his first career goal in the 62nd minute. David Bancroft served up a brilliant direct kick 30 yards out from the left and found Jeff Vaughn on the far post. Vaughn headed the ball down to the front of the net and Acker slipped it low past the keeper. "It was a very satisfying win; our best team effort in a while," said head coach Dwight Hornibrook. "We played great defensively against a ranked team. We're proving we still belong in the top 25."
• It was the Highlanders' first season-opening win since 1995.
