EARLY GOAL NOT ENOUGH IN SETBACK TO #20 FRANKLIN PIERCE

ALBANY-The College of Saint Rose engineered a beautiful goal midway through the first half, but visiting #20 Franklin Pierce scored three unanswered strikes to upend the Golden Knights 3-1 in Northeast-10 Conference action today at Sullivan Field at the Plumeri Sports Complex.
 
The Golden Knights (5-8-1/3-7-1 NE-10) manufactured an 8-2 corner kick differential, but the Ravens (10-3-0/8-3-0 NE-10) generated an 11-7 shot advantage en route to their fourth victory in their last five matches.
 
Sophomore midfielder Jean-Philippe Rutabayiro made it 1-0 Saint Rose when he got high in the air to head home a splendid cross off the foot of fellow sophomore midfielder Carlos Menjivar.
 
However, Franklin Pierce struck twice within a seven minute span that bridged halftime. Junior back Hamish Cadigan converted a penalty kick with 40:32 elapsed and then freshman midfielder Jacob Blixt one-timed a cross from graduate forward Marius Preber for what stood up as the game-winner with 47:32 gone by.
 
Blixt then added an insurance marker four minutes later when he lined a free kick from some 35-yards out that rattled off the bottom off the crossbar and snuck in behind the goal line.
 
Senior keeper Christian Esposito came up with four saves for the Golden Knights, while freshman Jadel Poon-Lewis registered a pair at the other end.
 
Looking ahead, both teams are back on the pitch Tuesday for conference matches. The Golden Knights head to Colchester, VT for a 3:00 pm date at Saint Michael's while Franklin Pierce hosts Le Moyne at 4:00 pm in Rindge, NH.
Note: Twelve seniors were honored prior to today's match in recognition of Senior Day. The group included: Lewis Achu, Nathan Brown, Ryan Clarke, Joshua Hanif, Pablo Lajeunesse, Juan Felipe Lozada, Nick Menozzi, Jeffrey Roche, Blake Snyder, Justyn Verbraska, and Kyle Wright, in addition to Esposito.
