(Nashua, NH) The Rivier University Men's Soccer team dropped a 2-0 decision this evening in the rain to visiting Lesley University. The setback drops the Raiders to a 1-1 overall record while the Lynx remain unbeaten at 3-0-1.

Lesley got on the board early in the first half as sophomore Spencer Irwin (Somers, NY) took a cross from junior Jordan Santos (Middlebury, CT) and banked it off the inside of the right post to give the visiting team the lead for good.

For the rest of the half and most of the second, the Raiders and Lynx battled back-and-forth with both squads seeing valuable scoring opportunities missed.

Freshman Wilton Zuo (Dorchester, MA) was the beneficiary of a Raider miscue when he was given the ball in free space inside the 18 as he netted his first collegiate goal.

Rivier freshman goalkeeper Gary Archambault (Auburn, NH) made 8 saves on the evening while his counterpart, senior Nathan Trucks (Guilford, CT) stopped both shots he saw on net.

The Raiders will return to action next Saturday afternoon as they begin Great Northeast Athletic Conference play with a 4pm home game vs. Johnson and Wales University. Lesley will look to remain unbeaten in their next contest when they travel to Anna Maria College on Monday afternoon.
