ROCHESTER, NY – The Roberts Wesleyan University Men's Soccer team surrendered a pair of second-half goals including one on a penalty kick and dropped a 2-0 East Coast Conference (ECC) decision to St. Thomas Aquinas College Saturday afternoon at Roberts Stadium.
After a scoreless first half, STAC (5-4-4 overall, 4-0-2 ECC) was awarded a penalty kick 13 minutes into the second half and scored to take the 1-0 lead.
Less than five minutes later, the Spartans doubled the lead with the second goal of the game on a short chip shot from within 10 yards.
The Redhawks (3-8-2, 1-5-0 ECC) applied pressure for the remainder of the period but could not score despite several scoring chances including one shot by senior Ewan O'Dwyer-Hall that hit the post.
STAC collected three yellow cards including two to Eitan Zeitoune who was sent off with the collective red card.
Roberts returns to action Wednesday with the final regular season home game against Molloy University with a 4 p.m. scheduled start.
