OWINGS MILLS, Md. - Reigning CAC and ECAC Rookie of the Year Ansger Otto (Willingboro, N.J./Willingboro) showed no signs of a sophomore slump, scoring two book end goals in a 3-0 season opening victory over Bridgewater (Va.) Wednesday at the Caves Athletic Complex.

Otto, who led the team with nine goals on 22 points a year ago, totaled his third career multi-goal game.

Stevenson (1-0) dominated the game on all fronts, holding a 26-9 edge in shots, including a 14-0 margin in the first half. The Mustangs also held a 4-0 advantage in corner kicks in the half and a 6-1 margin for the game.

The Stevenson defense also didn't allow a shot on goal in the game's first 54 minutes.

Otto began his season on a high note 17 minutes in when he went 1 v 3 and dissected the Eagles' defense with surgical precision, finishing off a shot just beyond the outstretched hands of Eagle keeper Travis Morris in the lower right corner to give the Mustangs a 1-0 lead.

Off a throw-in in the 41st minute, freshman Marcus Green (Rosedale/Overlea) found the feet of freshman Josh Stover (West Friendship/Marriotts Ridge) just outside the 18 who dribbled left and fired from 14 yards to make it 2-0.

In the 65 minute, junior John Adamo (Glassboro, N.J./Washington Township) executed a perfect lob pass from midfield that fell opportunistically at the boot of Otto whose second goal proved to be insurance and a 3-0 lead.

Stevenson utilized a trio of goalkeepers today to secure the shared shutout. Junior Ryan Flannelly (Middlesex, N.J./Middlesex) earned the start and recorded one save while facing three shots over the first 65 minutes of the game. Sophomore Cory Spindler (Sykesville/Century) replaced Flannelly and saw just four shots before freshman Alex Zeidler (Woodstown, N.J./Woodstown) faced two shots in the final six minutes.

Morris played the full 90 minutes for Bridgewater (0-1), recording eight saves.

Stevenson travels to Williamsport, Pennsylvania this weekend for the Lycoming Kickoff Classic where it will open against SUNY Cortland Saturday at 2:30 p.m.
