Paxton, MA --- Five different players collected goals to help lift WPI to a 5-0 shutout of Becker in the opening game of the 2011 Worcester City Men's Soccer Tournament played Friday afternoon at Anna Maria.

The freshmen trio of Eric Crevoiserat (Glastonbury, CT), Sam Russell (Glastonbury, CT) and Connor Bolton (Warrick, RI) joined Ciampa and Ducharme with assists. Goalkeeper Jeff Wong (Millington, NJ) made two saves in the shutout.
