Regis Sneaks Past Men’s Soccer in Second Half, 2-1

WESTON, Mass. – A second-half strike by Regis broke open a 1-all tie and made Suffolk men's soccer play catchup, but the Rams never did as they fell to the Pride, 2-1, Thursday afternoon at Regis Stadium.  

THE BASICS
SCORE: Suffolk 1, Regis 2
RECORDS: Suffolk (2-6-1, 2-3-1 GNAC) | Regis (4-3-1, 2-3-1 GNAC) 

HOW IT HAPPENED
Ken Niyonzima put Regis on the board first in the 27th minute thanks to a feed from Sal Madera. The lead was short lived for the hosts, however, as Gabriel Perez connected on a penalty kick to even the score just 1:44 later.  

The score hit a standstill for the remainder of the first half and the first 15 minutes of the second before Diego Roman's unassisted marker put the Pride in front for good.

  • Jesse Bonilla made six stops in between the pipes for the Pride.
