BOSTON, MA - Suffolk University (4-1-2, 1-0-2 GNAC)
blanked Saint Joseph's (5-4-1, 2-1), 2-0, on in GNAC Men's Soccer
action on Saturday afternoon. Monks keeper Will Pike '10 (Gorham,
ME) made six saves and Doug
MacCallum '10 (Hingham, MA) and
Paul Robins '11 (Cornwall,
England) both registered four shots in the loss.
Senior Nick Celia (Hanson, MA) scored nine minutes into the game on
a header in front of the net off of a pass from junior Luis Flores
(Madrid, Spain) to record the game-winner and his second goal of
the season.
Sophomore Danny Lloyd (Tegucigalpa, Honduras) scored his team
leading seventh goal of the season in the game's 72nd minute. Lloyd
took a pass from senior Bernhard Lotterer (Lima, Peru) and bolted
past two Monks defenders scoring from 20-yards out. Lloyd has now
scored in six of the Rams' seven games this season.
Junior goalkeeper Jack DeJesus (Swampscott, MA) picked up his first
shutout of the season as he made five saves in the game for his
fourth win of the year.
The Monks had 16 total shots in the game, but could not beat a
Rams' defense that has now only allowed two goals in the three
conference games this season. Freshman Matt
Barlion (Auburn, ME) had two of the Monks' best
opportunities. The first came midway through the first half as he
tried to score off of a corner kick by sophomore
Timothy Davison (Danvers, MA),
but the shot was stopped as Luis Flores dove in front of the net.
Barlion had another opportunity with 11 minutes
left in the game as he had a wide-open shot in front of the net
that sailed just high of the goal.
Celia and Lloyd each had three shots on goal in the game, while
Suffolk outshot the Monks 17-16.
The win was the first in three tries this season for Suffolk, who
tied their previous two games. Saint Joseph's picks up their first
conference loss of the year.
The Monks are off until next Saturday when they host Rivier College
in a GNAC match, while Suffolk will travel to Medford to take on
Tufts in a non-conference matchup on Tuesday at 7:00pm.
