RINDGE, NH – The College of Saint Rose struck for six goals in the fourth quarter to complete a come-from-behind 11-7 victory at Franklin Pierce this afternoon. The game marked the inaugural
Northeast-10 Conference contest for the Golden Knights (1-4/1-0 NE-10).
Junior attack
Brett McAuliffe registered three of his four strikes and an assisted on another during the final 15 minutes when Saint Rose outscored the Ravens (1-1/0-1 NE-10) 6-1 to rally from a 6-5 deficit. Also, sophomore midfielder
Evan Helming picked up three of his four assists and one of his two goals during the decisive fourth.

Kevin Fleming also had a goal while junior goalie
Nick Longo made eight of his 11 saves after halftime for the Golden Knights.
Sophomore attack Kevin Dargin scored three times and sophomore midfielder Erik Kelly scored twice to lead the Ravens.
Saint Rose owned a 5-2 lead at intermission after Sorber and McAuliffe scored four minutes apart midway through the second quarter, and Miller added another during a man-up situation with 50 seconds left. However, the Ravens scored four unanswered tallies in the third quarter to take their first lead of the afternoon.
The Golden Knights then countered with four straight goals themselves. Fleming finished a McAuliffe feed three minutes into the fourth, Helming set up Sorber for the second time, McAuliffe scored unassisted with what amounted to the game-winner and then Sorber returned the favor to Helming to make it 9-6 Saint Rose with 4:57 left.
