- The Lead: The Assumption Greyhounds set their eyes on a goal and accomplished it as the Hounds set the new program record of six straight wins by defeating the Saint Michael's Purple Knights 1-0 in Saturday evening at the Multi-Sport Stadium.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

-Kevin Hernandez (San Juan, P.R. / Colegio San Jose) scored the game-winner early-on in the first half. At the 16:40 mark, Hernandez got a ball from teammate Jason Lages (Edgartown, Mass. / Martha's Vineyard Regional) right in front of the net. He put a little spin on the ball with a back-kick, sending the ball home for the 1-0 lead.

-The goal stood thanks to 10 saves from goalkeeper Sebastian Jimenez (Naples, Fla. / Gulf Coast High School). Jimenez faced 11 shots in the second half, but turned away every attempt he faced. The Hounds also maintained a 57% share of possession and spent 46% of that time in the offensive zone, which forced the Purple Knights to go without many opportunities to score.

INSIDE THE NUMBERS:

-Saint Michael's outshot the Hounds 19-12, including 11-5 in the second half. Saint Michael's also held a 7-4 advantage in corner kicks.

-Hernandez pushed his streak to four consecutive games with a goal on Saturday, a streak that spans two weeks. He also set a career-high four goals in just his first seven games this season.

-Jimenez made 10 saves, improved to 6-1-0 on the year and earned his third shutout this season. He now sits tied for fifth in the program's history with 14 wins. Tommy Coll made eight saves for the Purple Knights, but fell to 2-2-0.

-The Hounds set a program record of six straight wins with their win against the Purple Knights. It breaks the previous record of five set in 2009.
