Box Score SPRINGFIELD, MA – Host American International scored in the opening two minutes of the second half to afford itself some breathing room en route to a 2-0 victory against The College of Saint Rose in a
Northeast-10 Conference encounter tonight.
Freshman midfielder Jason Burnusz scored what held up as the game-winner when he struck home a feed from senior midfielder Conor Doyle with 22:50 elapsed. Junior midfielder Miguel Rodriguez-Lapman then added an insurance tally for the Yellow Jackets (4-8-2/4-4-2 NE-10) at the 46:26 mark.
The match was fairly evenly played with American International generating a 22-18 shot differential and a 9-5 edge in corner kicks. The Golden Knights (1-12/1-9 NE-10) were able to engineer a pair of corners in the final minute, but ultimately could not cut into their deficit.
