HIRAM, Ohio -- A pair of second-half goals were the difference in a 2-0 defeat to Hiram for the Washington & Jefferson College men's soccer team on Saturday evening.
 
The Presidents (2-3) and Terriers (3-2-1) went back and fourth in a scoreless first half that saw Hiram outshoot W&J 7-2.
 
The Presidents managed an early header by Joey Feola (Carnegie, Pa./Central Catholic) and a shot on frame by Alvaro Viadas (Burgos, Spain) that was turned back in the 14^th minute.
 
Junior goalkeeper Ian Donlon (Latham, N.Y./Albany Academies) made a pair of saves at the beginning and end of the half to preserve the scoreless tie.
 
Hiram scored the game's first goal early in the second half with a looping cross bringing Donlon out to challenge the ball.  =Donlon collided with the attacking Terrier and another defender while the ball rebounded directly to a Hiram forward who fired the ball into an open net.
 
Again the Presidents were only able to muster a pair of shots in the second half, neither of which were on target.
 
Hiram added an insurance goal in the 80^th minute and escaped with a 2-0 non-league victory.
 
Feola led W&J with two shots and Donlon finished with four saves.
 
W&J continues its three-game road trip with a matchup with soon-to-be PAC foe Franciscan Tuesday evening at 5:00 p.m.
