Monks Fall Short at UMass Boston

Boston, MA - David Rosquete (Auburn, ME) scored twice and senior Harrison Deah (Monrovia, Liberia) picked up a pair of assists for St. Joe's in a 5-4 loss at UMass Boston.

UMass struck first as junior Guilherme Goncalves (Campo Grande, Brazil) found sophomore John DiPietro (Haverhill, MA) at 5:21. St. Joe's knotted the score when Rosquete took a header from Deah and scored in the 29th minute.

The Beacons scored two more goals to take a 3-1 lead at half-time and added goals at 54:03 and 61:58 to go up 5-1. UMass appeared to have the match in hand, but Rosquete redirected a header from freshman Paul Roy (Saint David, ME) to the left corner of the net at 73:01 to cut the deficit to 5-2.

Freshman Eamonn Harrigan (Caribou, ME) scored less than seven minutes later when he collected a loose ball off the foot of junior Dan Rockwell (Guilford, ME) and scored at 80:17 to make it 5-3. Freshman Doug MacCallum (Hingham, MA) kept hope alive when he took a cross in the air from junior Scott Desrosiers (Pascoag, RI) and scored on a bicycle kick into the left side of the net with just 1:02 left to play, but this would be as close as the Monks would come.

Freshman Greg Cavanaugh (Haverhill, MA) saw the first 73:01 in net for the Monks, turning away three shots while freshman Cory Smith (Ellsworth, ME) played the final 16:59, stopping both shots he faced.

St. Joe's travels to Colby on Thursday, October 12, for a 3:30 PM match.
