STANDISH, ME - Doug MacCallum '09 (Hingham, MA) scored with 24:29 remaining to lift Saint Joseph's (11-5-3, 6-2-1) past Johnson and Wales University (5-14, 4-5) on Saturday afternoon at Westerlea Way Field. With the victory, #3 St. Joe's advances to the GNAC Semifinals and will play #2 seed Lasell College on Tuesday at 1:30 PM. The loss ends the 2008 season for the Wildcats.

The teams combined to steer just four shots on net, six overall, in a stalemate first half, but the second stanza, particularly the latter portion, was a nailbiter for both sides.

MacCallum once again ignited the SJC offensive front, scoring his team-leading 12th marker of the season off a setup by Paul Robins '11 (Cornwall, England) at the 65:31 mark. The junior took a crossing pass from Robins and lofted the ball over JWU keeper Joe Ferraro '11 (Freehold, NJ), who came out of the net to challenge the play, from 23 yards out.

Five minutes after MacCallum scored the eventual game-winner, Wildcats' senior forward Jeremiah Schenzel (Carson City, NV) nearly knotted the contest with a nifty header attempt that was snuffed by SJC keeper Will Pike '10 (Gorham, ME) at the 69:38 mark.

Pike stopped Schenzel again nearly five minutes later on a breakaway bid. The 6'7 senior was sprung loose on the left side of the field and attempted to kick the ball to the right corner, but the Pike was up to the task and dove to the right to make an impressive save.

For the Wildcats, Ferraro made several impressive saves of his own in the losing effort, including a stop with three minutes remaining. Robins, streaking down the left side, received a crossing pass from the right and was robbed by a diving Ferraro on an attempt at the right corner.

Pike made four saves in the shutout bid, his seventh of the season. Ferraro made one stop in net for the Wildcats.

The Monks held the 7-6 edge in shots and a 6-2 advantage in corner kicks in the victory.
