RINDGE, N.H. (September 24, 2011) – The Stonehill College men's soccer team was handed a 2-0 loss, on the road, by Franklin Pierce University on Saturday night in Northeast-10 Conference (NE-10) action.

Moments later at 75:02, Goncalves finished on a beautiful long pass down the left flank from teammate Tom Wampler (Attleboro, Mass./Attleboro) beating Colella into the upper right corner of the net for a 2-0 lead.

Senior goalkeeper Vinny Papageorgiou (Wilmington, Mass./Wilmington) turned in his third clean sheet of the season recording two saves in the win. Colella made seven stops for Stonehill.

The Ravens outshot the Skyhawks, 17-10, and held a slim, 5-4, advantage in corners.
