Pat's Peak Ski Area and the 1^st remnants of fall where the backdrop for the Rivier College Men's Soccer match at New England College.  The Raiders gave up goals in the 10^th, 28^th and 55^th minutes to a very organized and fast playing Pilgrim squad as New England College sealed the 3-1 victory over Rivier. The brightest spot on this sun drenched afternoon was a goal from freshman Eric Moreno (Lynn, MA) (1-0-2). Moreno's goal was a rocket of a shot off a rebound. The play started with a dead ball free kick by senior Gustavo Marques (Lowell, MA). Marques hit a low shot that rebounded off the wall that Moreno crushed past the Pilgrims goalkeeper.  Rivier junior keeper John Jarvis (Henniker, NH) went the distance in goal. Jarvis had three (3) saves on 10 shots. Sophomore defender Cameron Williams (Lisbon, NH) continued his outstanding play, thwarting the NEC attack time and time again. Junior Andrew McCarn (Laconia, NH) played well in defense and contributed many balls that started Raider attacks.

The Raiders are on the road Saturday September 12^th at Mt. Ida College to open up its Great Northeast Athletic Conference schedule (GNAC) in Newton, MA.
