WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J. - Central Connecticut State freshman reserve Christopher Brown scored two goals, 1:46 before the half, and 3:20 into the second half, to carry CCSU to a 2-0 win over Monmouth University in Northeast Conference men's soccer action, on an extremely wet Friday afternoon.

The loss snaps Monmouth's six-game win streak and the Hawks' 24-game NEC unbeaten streak. The Hawks fall to 10-3-2 on the season and 5-1 in the NEC, while the Blue Devils improve to 4-8-2 overall and 2-3-1 in the NEC.

The Blue Devils got on the scoreboard first, at 43:14, when junior Yan Klukowski lifted a corner kick service into the box, which was nodded in by Brown for his third goal of the year.

CCSU went ahead 2-0 when senior Jonathan Agbatar crossed a ball into the box that skipped by a Monmouth defender. Once with the ball, Brown beat Monmouth goalkeeper Daniel Schenkel into the right net.

Monmouth held a 12-10 advantage in shots, including two shots that hit the crossbar, and a 6-4 edge in corner kick opportunities. Schenkel made one save in goal for the Hawks, while Paul Armstrong made four stops for the Blue Devils.

Senior Damon Wilson led Monmouth with four shots, including two shots on goal, one which hit the crossbar with nine minutes left until the intermission.

Monmouth returns to action on Sunday, October 28, when the Hawks host Quinnipiac at 1 p.m., on The Great Lawn.
