Final Stats

Riverdale, N.Y. – The College of Mount Saint Vincent Men's Soccer team dropped its fourth straight contest on Saturday afternoon with a 6-0 conference loss to visiting St. Joseph's-L.I. Senior goalie Matt Calandrillo (Cold Spring, N.Y.) finished the contest with six stops for the Dolphins.
 
The first 45 minutes on Saturday were tightly contested with the Golden Eagles coming away with the only tally of the half. John Dettori netted his first of three goals in the contest and the eventual game winner at the 10:26 mark of the match. He curled in a free kick to the far post for the early one goal advantage.
 
Despite being outshot 8-0 in the opening stanza, the Dolphins kept the visitors at bay the remainder of the first half and trailed by just a single tally at the intermission. Calandrillo made half of his six saves in the first half.

Head Coach Gianni Grimaldi commended his squad for a well played opening 45 minutes on Saturday. "Tactically, our Men in the first half were nearly flawless, conceding few chances, three of which were harmless and easily saved by our goal keeper Matt Calandrillo. The reason was due to the great cover provided by the technical experts of Javier Maduhano (Norwalk, Conn.) and Andres Romero Port Chester, N.Y.), behind ywo of our markers Daniel Gjelaj (Riverdale, N.Y.) and Brandan Chavarria (Bronx, N.Y.), along with our two defensive midfielders Joseph Rosado and Elvis Lieku. In a well fought first half, we had bottled up St. Joseph's with relatively no problem."

St. Joseph's-L.I. would break the game open early in the second half when it scored five goals in the first 20 minutes of the period. The Golden Eagles got three makers in the first five minutes of the half, including Dettori's second at the 46:14 mark.
 
The Golden Eagles had three players record a point in the contest, with Dettori leading the way with six. Doug Kane also had a big day for the visitors with a goal and three assists.
 
Calandrillo made three more saves in the second half to finish with his six, while St. Joseph's-L.I. net minder Chris Muhs was not forced to make a save in earning the victory between the pipes.
 
St. Joseph's-L.I. outshot Mount Saint Vincent 22-1 in the game, including 12-0 in shots on goal. Joseph Rosado (Highland Falls, N.Y.) recorded the lone shot of the contest for the Mount. The Golden Eagles also held a 9-1 edge in corner kicks, while fouls in the match were whistled 10-8 against the Dolphins.
 
The loss drops Mount Saint Vincent to 1-6 overall on the season and to 1-4 in league play. The Dolphins will look to snap their skid on Wednesday when they play host to Skyline Conference foe Mount Saint Mary.
