NASHUA, NH - Doug
MacCallum '10 (Hingham, MA) registered two goals
and Paul Robins '11 (Cornwall,
England) dealt a pair of assists in a 7-0 conference victory over
Rivier College (0-16, 0-8 GNAC) on Saturday. St. Joe's improves to
9-5-3 overall and 6-2-1 in GNAC play with the triumph.
The Monks offense was jumpstarted by an unlikely source: junior
back Matthew Loiselle (Woburn,
MA), who in 45 career games had not tallied a goal. His first
collegiate goal came at the 6:13 mark and was assisted by
Kevin Melega '09 (Easthampton,
MA). Derek Osmond '12 (Rockport,
MA) netted his second goal of the season, off a
Robins helper, 14 minutes later to increase the
SJC lead to 2-0.
The two-goal edge stood at the halftime break and wasn't extended
until the 55th minute when Joseph
Happnie '11 (Rockland, MA) capitalized on a
MacCallum pass to notch his second goal of the
season. The Monks went on to add two more goals, both by
MacCallum, in the next four minutes to take a 5-0
lead. Robins was credited with an assist on the
first while Osmond added a helper on the second
MacCallum tally, which was his 10th of the season,
the fourth-highest single-season total in program history.
Jesse West '12 (Enosburg Falls,
VT) added his first NCAA goal in the 73rd minute, unassisted, and
Banak Thiwat '11 (Cape Elizabeth,
ME) chipped in with his first marker of the season, assisted by
Zach Hollingshead '12 (Westerly,
RI), to cap the game-scoring with St. Joe's firmly in the lead,
7-0.
SJC goalie Will Pike '10 (Gorham,
ME) made five saves in 58:27 of play and Nicholas
Burridge '10 (Auburn, NY), making his second
appearance of the year in net, posted a pair of saves in 31:33 of
relief work. MacCallum paced the Monks with five
shots, Hollingshead recorded four and
Osmond, Melega,
Timothy Davison '12 (Danvers, MA)
and Mark Decowski '12 (Rochester,
NH) all added three shots in the conference victory.
Rivier keeper John Jarvis made 20 saves in the losing effort.
Saint Joseph's will host non-conference opponent Becker College in
the team's regular season finale on Sunday at 12:30 PM.
