RINDGE, N.H. – The Saint Anselm College men's soccer dropped its final non-conference match of the season to nationally-ranked Franklin Pierce on Tuesday.

The Hawks move to 6-5-0 on the season while the Ravens, who are ranked No. 2 in the most recent United Soccer Coaches national poll, remain unbeaten at 12-0-1. Saint Anselm will host No. 17 Adelphi on Saturday, Oct. 8. Prior to Saturday's match, the Hawks will honor eight seniors with a pregame Senior Day ceremony.

Senior Brian Underhill (Westford, Mass.) stopped a career-high 12 shots on goal in the match. It is the first time this season Underhill has made double-digit saves and he extends his Northeast-10 Conference lead in total saves with 71 through 11 games in 2022.

Neither side gained a clear advantage in the opening minutes and it wasn't until the eighth minute where either squad had a shot attempt. Vincente Valor Martinez fired a shot on Underhill that he turned aside in the eighth minute.

Rodrigo Vaza opened the scoring in the 11th minute and that was quickly doubled as Younes Addar found the back of the net in the 13th minute, which gave Franklin Pierce a 2-0 edge.

The Ravens continued their attack and found two more goals in the first half as they would head to halftime leading by a 4-0 margin.

Freshman Caua Soares De Freitas (São Paulo, Brazil) put two shots on goal for the Hawks in the second half.

Franklin Pierce held a 25-2 edge in shots including a 16-2 advantage in shots on goal. They also were awarded eight corner kicks to one for Saint Anselm. The Saint Anselm defense forced the Ravens offside seven times in the match.

Freshman Nathan Hall (Candia, N.H.) made his collegiate debut in the match.
