Jersey City, N.J.- The Saint Peter's University women's soccer team defeated Iona University, 3-2, on a rainy Saturday afternoon at Jaroschak Field.
Game Notes
- Before the game, Saint Peter's held a senior day ceremony for seniors Leslie Pineda and Iva Trifunovic. The rain tried to dampen the mood, but the spirits were high for two excellent Peacocks.
- The weather played a factor in the game, but the Peacocks battled through the tough playing conditions with two first half goals from Joana Dias and Gianna Grassifulli.
