HOUGHTON, N.Y. — Houghton's Homecoming matchup against Stevens didn't go as planned for the home team, as the Highlanders dropped a 5-0 decision to the Ducks on Burke Field.
The Highlanders never got anything going offensively, and the Ducks kept up the pressure with their high-powered attack. Stevens scored twice in the first half and added three more in the second.
Houghton's best chance came in the final minutes, but a hard shot by
Kealy DeForest went just wide of the net.
