Grantham, Pa. -- Matt Dorsey scored two goals as Messiah College defeated Greensboro College, 4-0, in an NCAA Division III second round game on Saturday.

The score was 3-0 at the break. The Falcons scored its 3 goals on 4 shots.
"We were very happy with our execution in the first half," said Pride Head Coach Bill Brady. "We did everything but finish, and Messiah did that. In the second half, our spirits were down and they dictated the play."

Dorsey scored the match's last goal in the 49th minute off a throw-in from Jordan on a play that was nearly identical to the first goal.
