NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. – The Saint Peter's men's soccer team (2-6-1, 0-3-0 MAAC) put up a great fight on the road, but ultimately fell to Iona (4-2-2, 2-0-0 MAAC) in a 3-5 game on Wednesday at Mazzella Field.
The Peacocks were led by graduate defenseman
Micah O'Garro, who scored two of the team's three goals.
Connall McErlain added another goal for Saint Peter's, giving the team a 3-2 lead at halftime. In the second half, the Gaels wasted no time scoring the equalizer with a penalty kick before netting two more goals for the win.
