Purple Eagles Defeated By Saint Peter's

JERSEY CITY, N.J. – The Purple Eagles (5-8-0, 3-3-0 MAAC) fell to Saint Peter's (6-7-1, 4-2-1 MAAC), 2-0, on Wednesday afternoon.

Game Recap
  • Jayson Repine, Jelldrik Dallmann and Luigi Boa Morte had early chances for NU, but none of their shots found their mark.
  • Federico Cugge had Niagara's only shot on goal of the game in the 23rd minute, but it was saved by the Saint Peter's keeper in the bottom center of the net.
  • Gabriel Mikina took the final shot of the half for NU, but the Purple Eagles and the Peacocks remained scoreless.
  • Ali Alomari took the first shot of the second half for the Purple Eagles.
  • Saint Peter's got on the board in the 65th minute, scoring to take a 1-0 lead over Niagara.
  • Nuukele Gboe took the final shot of the game for the Purple Eagles in the 76th minute.
  • The Peacocks added a second goal in the 84th minute and came away with the shutout win.

Coach's Corner
  • "We had our chances to score, especially in the first half," said head coach Bill Boyle. "Because of a couple mistakes and an unfortunate bounce on a set, we couldn't keep a clean sheet. The boys need to continue to work at staying focused for 90 minutes, but this is a very hard place to play. We look forward to getting back home."
