ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. -- A lone goal from the first half held up as Scranton defeated the Elizabethtown College men's soccer team in the Landmark Conference Championship Saturday at Ira R. Herr Field. First-half sub Gavin Scavino netted the only goal of the game to help the Royals capture the conference title.

Scranton (11-6-2) limited the Blue Jays to only two first-half shots, one on goal that came off the foot of Pedro Guizardi in the 30th minute.

Six minutes later, and about a minute and a half after entering the game, Scavino took a through ball from Seamus O'Keefe and slid it toward goal. An Etown defender rushed to try and save it from going in, but was unable as the Royals took the 1-0 lead in the 36th minute.

Earlier in the half, senior goalie Kelvin Del Cid made an acrobat tip save on a free kick taken by Anthony Rizzi from about 20 yards out.

Elizabethtown's (8-6-5) best chance came in the second half, still trailing 1-0. Hudson Peck's in-swinging free kick eluded initial bodies and made it through the six-yard box, but a few Jays near the back post were unable to knock it into an open goal.

The Scranton defense once again limited the Etown attack, holding them to just a single shot and none after the 53rd minute.

The Royals were able to pin the Jays deep with time winding down and ran out the clock to take the championship game.

Brendan King was named the Most Valuable Player for Scranton.
