ALBANY - The College of Saint Rose men's soccer team returns to the pitch this afternoon. The Golden Knights play host to Bentley University at 1:00 pm, with "Senior Day" festivities to take place prior to kickoff at Sullivan Field. 

LAST MEETING (October 2, 2010)
Host Bentley scored twice in the opening 25 minutes of the second half on the way to a 2-0 victory over Saint Rose in a Northeast-10 Conference match last October 2. Sophomore forward Cody Osgood set up the game-winner in the 57th minute and added an insurance marker in the 72nd. Junior midfielder Brennan DaCosta put Bentley up 1-0 when he settled Osgood's lob and finished from 10-yards out. Osgood then volleyed a shot home off of senior midfielder Eric Ulmer's centering pass from the wing.

Overall, the Falcons outshot the Golden Knights by a 12-5 margin and also generated the game's lone corner kick. Senior keeper Patrik Ohlsson recorded four saves for Saint Rose.

SCOUTING SAINT ROSE (1-12-0/0-9-0 NE-10)
The Golden Knights are coming off of a 2-1 double-overtime loss at New Haven on Tuesday. Sophomore back Stephen Richardson came off the bench to square it at 1-1 for Saint Rose when he finished a feed from senior midfielder Liam Barrett for his first collegiate marker with 41:35 gone by. It marked the seventh contest of the year that was decided by one goal.

Richardson is one of five players who have found the back of the net so far this season. Junior forward Giancarlo Montenegro, junior midfielder Zak Duguay, sophomore back Alan McGrath and sophomore midfielder Dylan Klippenstein have also provided one marker.

Meanwhile, Ohlsson has collected 60 saves having playing all but 32:23 in goal. Ohlsson, who tied his season-high with nine saves on Tuesday, ranks third in the NE-10 in saves.

SCOUTING BENTLEY (7-4-1/5-3-0 NE-10)
The Falcons have dropped two in a row heading into today. Bentley fell 3-0 at Southern New Hampshire on Tuesday, which was only the second time this year the Falcons were held scoreless.

Bentley is seventh in the conference behind 1.7 goals per-game. Freshman forward Louis Boisvert and senior forward Matt Solomon have provided a scoring punch up front. The duo has nine points each on four goals and one assist. All told, 12 different players have found the scoring column to provide a balanced attack.
