Senior back
Andrew Lule knocked home a feed from sophomore forward
Hilmar Halldorsson with less than a minute to go until halftime for what amounted to the game-winner. Sophomore back
Nick Koenig converted a penalty kick in the opening 12 minutes of the second stanza to afford the Golden Knights (3-1) some breathing room.

"This spring has been a unique opportunity for our young team to have to problem solve differently from match to match. Today a very determined Bryant & Stratton side did a good job of making it difficult for us to break them down. I thought overall our possession and patience was good, but on the day we could have been sharper and a little more clinical in the final third. I was very happy that we got everyone into the match and hope the experience serves us well as we continue to develop," said head coach
John Ciano."

For the Bobcats (0-1), Nate German turn aside eight shots at frame.

Looking ahead, Saint Rose has a scrimmage at Molloy College on Long Island this Saturday and then returns home to host Mercy College next Wednesday, April 7 at 5:00 pm.
