DeShield Leads Monks to GNAC Playoffs

Standish, ME - The Saint Joseph's College Men's Soccer team needed a victory over Mount Ida College and some help from at least two other GNAC schools to earn a bid into the playoffs on Wednesday. As it turned out, all went in the Monk's favor. SR Shannon DeShield (Pembroke, Bermuda) scored both of St. Joe's goals in a 2-0 victory over the Mustangs and SO GK Cory Smith (Ellsworth, ME) recorded his 4th shutout of the season in the game. FY Paul Robins (Cornwall, England) picked up an assist on DeShield's first score.

In order to gain a spot in the eight team GNAC tournament, the Monks needed the victory and a loss by two of three schools: Emerson College, Rivier College and Emmanuel College. All three schools lost their games and the Monks moved up to the 7th slot in the tournament and will play Sunday, 10/28 vs. Johnson and Wales University at Pierce Stadium. Game time is 1:00 PM.
