Last Time Out: The College of Saint Rose suffered its sixth one-goal loss of the season with Wednesday's 2-1 non-league setback to visiting Roberts Wesleyan. Junior midfielder Nick Iuorno recorded his third goal of the year for the Golden Knights, while senior forward Michael Cunningham scored his team-leading eighth strike and set up the game-winner for the Redhawks. Between the posts, sophomore Christian Esposito recorded 10 saves in just his second start this autumn for Saint Rose. Esposito was at his best late when he made two outstanding stops in the final 11 minutes to keep it a one-goal affair.

Last Meeting (10/12/13): Franklin Pierce scored a pair of goals less than three minutes apart in the final five minutes to upend Saint Rose. Sophomore forward Dallas Donovan registered both goals to pace the Ravens. Donovan collected a quick pass from junior midfielder David Lima and finished in the upper right-corner with 85:16 elapsed. Donovan then secured a long free kick from Terence Ciaverra and converted his ensuing shot at the 87:45 mark. Junior keeper Colan Balkwell made five of his six saves in the second half for the Golden Knights.

Scouting Saint Rose (1-8-1/1-5-0 NE-10): Saint Rose is aiming to snap a six-match skid. Iuorno and freshman midfielder Kledis Capollari lead the team with three goals apiece. Balkwell owns a 1.49 goals-against-average throughout 788 of the team's 833 minutes.

Scouting Franklin Pierce (5-4-1/3-3-1 NE-10): The Ravens had their four match unbeaten streak snapped with Wednesday's 3-2 setback at conference rival Stonehill. Midfielder Quincy Appah is tied for fourth among NE-10 point producers with 13 behind four goals and five assists on the year. Donovan is right on his heels with 12 points thanks to a team-best six strikes. Between the posts, freshman Jordan LeGuyader owns a 1.34 GAA throughout 740 of the squad's 920 minutes.
