Clark 2, Anna Maria 0 - Worcester City Classic 

Box Score

Worcester, MA --- Sophomore Baran Doenmez (Dublin, NH) paced Clark University with a pair of goals to help lead the Cougars to a 2-0 victory over Anna Maria in the second day of the Worcester City Classic on Sunday afternoon at WPI's Alumni Field.

With Worcester State's 5-1 victory over WPI earlier today, the Cougars end the tournament as the runner-ups after both Clark and WSC finished with identical 1-0-1 records. The Lancers earned the tournament championship based on a better goal differential (+4 to +2).

Freshman Adrian Blackadar (Warwick, RI) came close to putting Clark on the board midway through the first stanza, but his shot hit the right post. Doenmez then broke the scoreless tie on a cross from sophomore Greg Jancarick (Swansea, MA) in the 28th minute.

Doenmez gave Clark some insurance in the 47th minute when he took buried a feed from senior Mike Trobagis (Acton, MA) into the back of the net.  Doenmez has all three of Clark's goals this season as he also netted a tally in Friday's 1-1 double overtime tie with Worcester State.

Clark netminder Peter Wise (Providence, RI) made one save en route to posting his first shutout of the season. Anna Maria goalie Scott Burokas (Auburn, MA) was outstanding between the pipes as he tallied 10 stops for the AMCATS (0-2).  Clark enjoyed a 17-2 edge in shots on the day and a 8-0 advantage in corner kicks. 

The Cougars will play again on Wednesday when they entertain Johnson and Wales at 6pm at Granger Field while Anna Maria travels to Leicester to take on Becker on Thursday at 4pm.
