Box Score PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – The Yale men's soccer team topped Saint Joseph's (Pa.) 3-2 on Monday night on the road. The Bulldogs had their best offensive game with three goals by three separate players, and senior Max Rogers tallied two assists, serving as a major catalyst for the visitors.

"Overall, this is a very good result with a tough turnaround from Saturday," said Kylie Stannard, the 5K Corral Head Coach of the Bulldogs.  "I was disappointed how we started the game and didn't really get going until we found ourselves down a goal, but it was huge to get a goal before half and a big credit to the guys that came in off the bench to help create a little spark."
 
"In the second half, we did much better to get on the ball and dominate possession and dictating the attacking side of the ball," said Stannard. "This allowed us to open them up more and get into more dangerous spots which created some great goals. We do still need to do better at managing the game with a lead and then trying to put a game away rather than letting a team back in the game and making it more interesting than it needs to be."


With the victory, Yale improves to 4-3-1, while the Hawks fall to 3-6-1.
