HOW IT HAPPENED
Roger Williams received their first corner kick opportunity with just 1:40 removed from the cock. Javi Beltran floated the rock into the pack of players in front of Suffolk's net. Niall Shea put a head on it towards Xander Balog, who was there to make the save. The sophomore sent the ball loose though and John McCarthy was tehre to pick up the pieces and put it away to open the scoring.
