Senior John Paul Boyle scored twice Sunday to lead Hartwick College to its first men's soccer win of the season, a 3-1 defeat of UNC Wilmington in the second round of the Mayor's Cup at Elmore Field.
Sam Wright also scored for Hartwick (1-2-1), which jumped to a 3-0 lead in the first 22 minutes. The Hawks went 1-0-1 as the hosts of the Mayor's Cup but finished second behind Syracuse, which won both of its games.
Boyle opened the scoring 7 minutes, 20 seconds into the game, beating goalie Brock Duckworth to the left side after receiving a low cross to the middle from the left side from Austin McCann.
Wright made it 2-0 on a corner kick 11:04 later. Boyle then capped the Hartwick scoring 21:54 in, converting from 12 yards on a long throw-in from Owen Botting that was flicked ahead by Dan Summers at the corner of the 18-yard box.
Matt Brown headed in a pass from Jeffrey Shapiro in the 75th minute to end winning goalie Jeremy Vuolo's shutout bid. Vuolo, who helped the Hawks to a 0-0 tie against Florida Gulf Coast in Friday's opening round, made two saves.
Syracuse earned the Mayor's Cup title with back-to-back shutouts, following a 1-0 victory over UNC Wilmington (1-3) on Friday with a 3-0 drubbing of FGC on Sunday. Tom Perevegyencev, Hansen Woodruff and Kyle Hall scored for the Orange on Sunday. Hall, who also scored Friday, won the Jim Lennox Offensive Most Valuable Player Award.
