Union, N.J. (2/26/09) - Seniors Colin Feneis (Spotswood, N.J.) and Brandon Aich (Sayreville, N.J.) combined for Kean's first shutout of the season as the #4/7 Cougars defeated DeSales University, 3-0, Thursday afternoon at Jim Hynes Stadium.

Aich picked up his second save of the year after throwing two innings allowing just one hit and fanning three.

KU (4-0) pushed across the only run they would need in the bottom of the second as junior Michael Diaz (Westfield, N.J.) grounded out with the bases loaded to score Jared Orgel (East Hanover, N.J.) who reached on a leadoff single.

Junior Nick Nolan (Linden, N.J.) added some insurance in the bottom of the third with his second homerun of the season, a two-run blast that scored rookie Lee Cavico (North Brunswick, N.J.) who led off the inning with a walk.

Nolan was 2-for-3 with a homerun and double.

For DeSales (1-1), senior Chris Brian (Oak Ridge, N.J.) suffered the loss. Brian (0-1) allowed three runs, all earned, in five innings of work. He also struck out four and walked three.
