HAMDEN, Connecticut- In its third conference game of the season, the Marist men's soccer team fell to the Quinnipiac Bobcats 3-2 in Wednesday's rainy matchup.
 

Quote From Coach

"Unfortunately we didn't make the most of our chances in the first half and then we wobbled immediately after Richie went down in the second half. We clawed one back but couldn't find the equalizer late. It's gut check time and we'll see what we are made of Saturday night at home vs Siena. MAAC play is a different animal and we'll need to embrace all the things that come with it and find ways to get points," said Coach Viggiano
