Men’s Soccer Drops Season Finale at Franklin Pierce, 3-1

RINDGE, N.H.  – The Saint Anselm College men's soccer team dropped its Northeast 10 Conference and regular season finale against Franklin Pierce University, 3-1, at Sodexo Field on Wednesday.
 
Highlights 
  • Saint Anselm is now 13-31-3 all-time against Franklin Pierce, as the Hawks remain winless against the Ravens since 2017.
  • Senior goalkeeper David Hood falls to 4-6-5 on the season, making a season-high nine saves while allowing three goals.
  • Junior Jake McCabe scored his team-leading fourth goal of the season while improving to 2-2 on penalty kicks.
  • Sophomore Chance Prouty recorded three shots on goal and McCabe tallied two to lead the Hawks. Junior Yves Maurer and freshman Jason Xintaropoulos each had one shot on target in the loss.
  • The Hawks were outshot 22-16, including 12-7 in shots on goal. The Ravens also led in corner kicks, 6-3.
How it Happened
 
Franklin Pierce scored in the sixth minute on a header from Guillermo Avendano that floated over the outstretched arm of Hood and into the back of the net off a pass from Julen Martin deep into the Hawks' attacking zone.
 
Both Avendano and Martin put shots on goal in the sixth and 18th minutes, with Hood making a pair of saves to keep the Hawks within one.
 
Hood was bested in the 22nd minute on a goal by Guillermo Rios, who was unguarded in the middle of the 18-yard box before blasting a right-footed shot into the back of the net to put the Ravens ahead 2-0.
 
The Hawks answered in the 25th minute when a strong attack by McCabe resulted in a handball in the box by the Ravens, setting up McCabe for the penalty kick, which he converted to the bottom right corner of the net to make the score 2-1.
 
The Ravens scored their third goal of the match with just over a minute left in the first half as a corner kick from Joao Araujo found Stepan Fiker for a header that snuck past Hood to increase their lead back to two goals.
 
Franklin Pierce recorded five shots on goal while Saint Anselm had four shots on target in the second half, but Hood and his counterpart, David Skorodumov, kept the offenses at bay as the final score stood at 3-1 in favor of the Ravens.
