LAST TIME OUT
Caleigh O'Brien netted her sixth goal of the season, but it would not be enough as the Suffolk women's soccer team could not overcome an early second-half score by St. Joseph (Conn.) to fall to the Blue Jays 2-1 Saturday afternoon at East Boston Memorial Park's James A. Sartori Stadium.
