Men's Soccer Suffers 1-0 Defeat at Hartford

WEST HARTFORD, Connecticut – The Marist men's soccer team suffered its first loss of 2017 as they fell to the Hartford Hawks 1-0 on Saturday evening.

SUMMARY:

For the third consecutive game, the Red Foxes fell behind early, as the Hawks opened the scoring in the 26th minute on a lateral pass from inside the box that found an open player who fired a point blank shot into the back of the net. Marist had several chances throughout the game to answer but were unable to find the shot to beat the Hartford goalie. With just over six minutes left in the game, the Red Foxes earned a free kick from the left corner of the box. Junior Juan Parada smacked a beautiful service toward the top left corner of the goal but the ball just glanced off the cross bar and out of bounds.

INSIDE THE NUMBERS:
  • Both teams finished with 8 total shots and 2 shots on goal
  • Marist had just six of its 14 players who appeared in the game register a shot and just two register a shot on goal
  • Senior goalie Mark Rajovic registered at least one save in his third consecutive game this season.

QUOTE:

"We're obviously disappointed in the result. I thought we weren't as sharp as we were the first two games so it kind of bit us a little bit. The guys fought and played well enough to win and I thought overall we were the better team but they found a way to score. We weren't very dangerous at times and we had to fight through some extracurriculars. They are a well coached team and are good and America East finalists for a reason last year. It's a good result to learn from and build on as the year goes on but I thought the guys should in no way shape or form not hold their heads high. They played hard and they played well." – head coach Matt Viggiano.

UP NEXT:

The Red Foxes return to action and continue their road trip on Thursday, Sept. 7th as they face off against the American Eagles in Washington D.C. at 4 PM. American is coming off an 11-5-5 season in 2016, during which they made it to the Patriot League Championship but lost to the Colgate Red Raiders 5-4 in penalty kicks.
