The men’s side of the soccer pitch for Saint Rose found themselves on the wrong side of a shutout, losing at Franklin Pierce 2-0 in their Northeast-10 Conference matchup this past Saturday.
The loss was rather heartbreaking, as the Ravens scored their two goals three minutes apart in the final five minutes of the match.
Franklin Pierce (5-5/4-3 NE-10) freshman Dallas Donovan had himself a game, netting both of the Raven’s late-game goals. The first came off an assist from junior midfielder David Lima that found its way into the upper-right corner. The second came off a long free-kick from senior midfielder Terence Ciaverra.
Golden Knights (4-7/1-6 NE-10) sophomore keeper Colan Balkwell tallied five of his six saves in the second half. Senior forward Juan Garzon and sophomore midfielder Nick Iuorno were able to conjure up two shots a piece.
Wednesday is the date for the Golden Knights next match. Saint Rose will travel to Worcester, Massachusetts for a 7:00 p.m. date with the Assumption College Greyhounds.
