ALBANY–The College of Saint Rose defeated American International 7-3 this afternoon to garner its first
Northeast-10 Conference victory of the season.
"Any NE10 game is a hard game to win," said senior midfielder
Joe Buono, who scored his first collegiate goal in the triumph. "It was hard to work through, but the guys showed up in the fourth quarter to finish the game."
Freshman attack
Jordyn Marchiano scored twice to lead the Golden Knights (2-7/1-4 NE10). Sophomore midfielder
Justin Feldman dished out a pair of assists, while sophomore attack
Carter Badour added a goal and an assist. In goal, sophomore
