ALBANY, N.Y. –The College of Saint Rose trimmed a seven-goal fourth quarter deficit to four with 4:32 remaining in tonight's 12-6 Northeast-10 Conference setback to #17 Assumption.
The Golden Knights (4-8/2-7 NE10) netted three goals in a 5:53 span to make things interesting late on a beautiful evening at the Plumeri Sports Complex. However, Assumption (8-4/5-3 NE10) scored off the ensuing possession to stem the Black and Gold momentum.
Senior attack
Carter Badour, one of four Saint Rose players that were honored as part of the "Senior Night" ceremony before the game, led the Golden Knights with three points, two goals and an assist. The output made the co-captain the first Saint Rose player to record a pair of 50-point seasons. Badour, who registered a program-record 56 points last spring, currently has 51 with two games left on the schedule.

Senior attack Dan Farrell topped Assumption with three goals and an assist, while junior midfielder Owen Peterson III added a hat trick. Senior attack Travis Reid, who entered the weekend second in the NE10 with 63 points, was held in check by the Saint Rose defense, only managing a goal and a helper.
