Game Recap: Men's Soccer |

M. Soccer Edged by #2 St. Lawrence



CANTON, NY (Sept. 16) - Second-ranked St. Lawrence University posted a 2-0 homefield win over the Yellowjacket men's soccer team here this afternoon.

The Saints, who hosted the NCAA Division III Final Four last year, improved to 6-0-0. Rochester had a three-game winning streak snapped. The Yellowjackets are 4-2.

This was Rochester's second game versus a top-three opponent in the last 10 calendar days. On Sept. 6, Rochester defeated third-ranked Otterbein, 2-1, in the semifinals of the Otterbein Tournament. The Yellowjackets used that win to fuel a 4-0 victory over the College of Notre Dame the next day which gave them the tournament championship.

Today's match was a solid defensive battle between two highly-skilled teams. The Yellowjackets took five shots, the Saints unleashed seven.

Both SLU goals came from substitutes - John Loftus in the 22nd minute, Ryan O'Dowd in the 67th minute.

Rochester goalkeeper Brian Minehan made three saves.

The Yellowjackets return to Fauver Stadium on Saturday afternoon to host Clarkson at 4 pm.
