NORTHFIELD, Minn. -- Brennan Johnson (Jr./Portland, Ore./Grant) scored the game-winning goal and added an assist as the Carleton College men's soccer team improved to 4-1-0 on the season with a 3-0 victory over visiting Viterbo University.
 
The Knights held possession for the majority of the match, but the V-Hawks defense withstood the pressure until the 19th minute. David Rubin (Jr./Ann Arbor, Mich./Greenhills School) won the ball for Carleton in the midfield and poked it to Alvin Bierley (Jr./San Jose, Calif./Leland), who worked upfield. Bierley slid a pass through to Johnson, who immediately directed a shot under the on-rushing Vieterbo goalkeeper and into the lower right corner. This was Johnson's second goal game-winning goal in as many contests.
 
The score remained 1-0 until the 48th minute. Johnson delivered a corner kick to the top of the six-yard box. Tarek Bos-Shadi (Jr./Kankakee, Ill./Bradley Bourbonnais) snuck his header inside the right post and under the crossbar for his first goal of the campaign.
 
Newcomer Trevor Jones (Fy./Urbandale, Iowa/Waukee) capped the scoring with an unassisted goal in the 76th minute. He collected a loose ball following a set piece and unleashed a shot that deflected into the net.
 
Aaron Forman (Jr./Los Angeles, Calif./Windward School) and Elliot Hanson (Fy./Evanston, Ill./Evanston Township) combined on Carleton's fourth shutout of the season.
