Last Meeting (11/13/19): The College of Saint Rose punched its ticket to the Northeast-10 Conference championship match by advancing on PKs after the two squads played to a 1-1 draw in Rindge, N.H. Five Saint Rose shooters each scored while a Ravens attempt hit the left post to afford the Golden Knights all they needed to extend their season. Niv Fogel, the fifth Saint Rose shooter, delivered the decisive strike after the Franklin Pierce miscue. Filippo Bellu leveled the contest for the sixth-seed Golden Knights with 50:08 elapsed. Javier Garcia Borrás put the 18th ranked and second-seed Ravens up 1-0 at the 34:02 mark when he one-timed a cross into the lower-right corner. The Saint Rose defense kept a daunting Franklin Pierce offense in check throughout the final 76 minutes as Golden Knights keeper Gianni Carillo recorded 10 saves.

Erick Radtke struck at the 29:58 mark when he collected a feed from sophomore forward
Hilmar Halldorsson and finished high-center for the insurance marker. In the back, junior keeper
