KINGSTON, R.I. – Wednesday afternoon belonged to Alvin Dahn as the Saint Joseph's senior midfielder came off the bench to score both goals - including the match-winner with 12 seconds remaining in regulation - to lift the Crimson and Gray to a 2-1 road win over Rhode Island at the URI Soccer Complex.

"It's an unbelievable feeling," said Dahn following the victory. "It's been so long since I experienced something like this. The team was ready to suffer and win this game. It was a complete team win, and we fought well to earn this win."

With the win, the Hawks snap a four-match losing streak to improve to 2-5 overall (1-2 A-10) and to pick up their first Atlantic 10 victory and three key conference points of the season.

"I was really happy with the performance of our team today," said head coach Don D'Ambra. "We defended really well, stayed organized the entire match, and had some really impressive offensive plays. Alvin made a big impact on the game, and I was so pleased with his ability to execute his chances at goal. Overall, it was a great team effort today."

Despite being limited in personnel for the third consecutive match, the Crimson and Gray found a way to win on the road and saw freshman goalkeeper Luis Ludosan (1-3, 1-2 A-10) earn his first collegiate victory in net.

How It Happened
• Sophomore midfielder James Fletcher took the first of SJU's four shots on goal for the match in the 27th minute, forcing Rhode Island goalkeeper Andrew Kempe into the save.

• Dahn scored his first goal of the season and 12th of his career inside the box at the 28:00 mark, just under nine minutes after checking into the match.

• Ludosan made his first save of the day in the 34th minute, stopping a shot off the foot of Kevin Castaneda to keep the Crimson and Gray up by one at the halftime break.

• Dahn fired off his second shot on goal in the 59th minute, but Kempe won that match-up with the stop.

• The Rams took five shots in a span of just over 13 minutes from the 74:26 mark to the 87:35 mark, but SJU's defense blocked the first two (75', 76') and Agyemang's went wide (79') before Ludosan came up with his second save in the 81st minute. SJU's defense blocked yet another shot in the 88th minute leading up to Dahn's heroics...
