Men’s Soccer Battles in Thrilling Win at Princeton, 3-2


PRINCETON, N.J. – In a back-and-forth affair Tuesday night, the Saint Joseph's men's soccer team (3-5-0) came from behind to defeat Princeton (2-3-0), 3-2. Four different Hawks recorded a point, with graduate student Matias Mancini and junior James Fletcher paving the way with three apiece.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED:
  • Rookie Blake Driehuis tallied his second goal of the season during the seventh minute of play after receiving a feed from Fletcher.
  • SJU held a lead for almost 20 minutes before Princeton knotted the game with a score from James Wangsness on a right-footed shot inside the box.
  • The Tigers jumped ahead with another goal scored from inside the box to go up, 2-1.
  • Less than a minute later, Mancini sent a shot past the encroaching Princeton keeper that was blocked on the line by a Tiger defender but eventually put in by Fletcher.
  • Mancini put the Crimson & Gray back on top with an easy score inside the box after a pass from graduate student Omry Perel. Perel cruised up the far sideline and found Mancini in the box. 
BEHIND THE BOX SCORE:
  • SJU posted a 5-of-11 shots to shots on goal to best Princeton's 8-of-18.
  • Sophomore Luis Ludason (2-2-0) picks up his second straight win after making six saves and allowing a pair of goals.
  • Mancini's and Fletcher's three-point performances are the best of both their careers.
  • Driehuis, Mancini, and Fletcher all scored their second goals on the campaign. All three are now tied for a team high five points on two goals and one assist each.
