CHESTERTOWN, MD - Wallace Eisenhauer (Sr., New Castle, DE/Wilmington Christian) finished a pass from Ryan McGonigle (Fr., Chadds Ford, PA/Unionville) at the 56 minute mark to lead the Franklin & Marshall College men's soccer team to a 1-0 victory over Washington College in Centennial Conference action.

After a scoreless first half in which the Diplomats held a 6-5 shot advantage, Eisenhauer beat Washington goalie Ryan Miller with a shot for all the Diplomats needed to improve to 9-3-2 on the season, 4-2-1 in Centennial Conference play as F&M is now a win or a tie away from clinching a berth in the CC playoffs.

Overall, F&M held a 16-8 advantage in shots over the Shoremen, while Washington took a 9-5 advantage in corners.

In goal, Ed Stelz (So., Kew Gardens, NY/Loomis Chaffee) recorded five saves in 90 minutes of work to pick up his fourth solo shutout of the season. Statistically, the Diplomats have been stingy on defense as F&M has shutout five opponents (Scranton, Wesley, Lebanon Valley, Hood & Washington) this season while allowing .817 goals per game (12 goals in 1322:28 minutes).

Franklin & Marshall (9-3-2, 4-2-1) will return to action on October 27 at Dickinson College. Game time is set for 4:30 p.m.
