NEW HAVEN – The College of Saint Rose wrapped up its 2008 campaign on a high note with a 3-1 victory at Northeast-10 Conference rival New Haven this afternoon. The Golden Knights (3-12-1/2-10-1 NE-10) wound up winning two of their last three contests of the year.

Senior forward Joe Hunt scored two unassisted goals and set up the third to lead Saint Rose. Sophomore midfielder Liam Barrett accounted for the other tally. New Haven sophomore fullback Matt Sarrazin spoiled the first career shutout bid of freshman keeper Patrik Ohlsson by finding the back of the net in the 85th minute.

The Golden Knights outshot the Chargers by a 13-11 margin and kept them at bay despite allowing six corner kicks and generating only two.

Hunt made it 1-0 Saint Rose midway through the first half when he lobbed a volley from 20-yards out over the head of New Haven freshman keeper Jonathan Creem. With less than five minutes remaining until intermission, Hunt beat a New Haven defender to the ball on the end line. He then slipped a pass to Barrett who one-timed it home from inside the box.

Hunt made it a 3-0 affair in the 74th minute when he forced a turnover and finished from deep inside the box.

Sarrazin got the Chargers on the board when he collected a cross off the foot of junior midfielder Oren Corridon and beat Ohlsson.

Ohlsson wound up with four saves, two in each half, for the Golden Knights; while Creem turned aside six shots for New Haven.
