GAME FACTS

  • With most of the league's action taking place on Saturday night, the Purple Knights are now tied for seventh in the league with The College of Saint Rose with two games remaining. The top eight teams qualify for the NE10 Championship.
  • Saint Michael's picked up its second win over Le Moyne, and first since Sept. 13, 2014. The Purple and Gold defeated the Dolphins at home for the first time, in their 14th meeting in Colchester.
  • The Purple Knights are 2-1-2 in their last five games.
  • Schramm ran his points streak to three games, with two goals and an assist in that time.
  • The contest capped the Purple Knights' five-game homestand, their longest since playing the first six games at home in 2010.
  • Saint Michael's held a 6-5 edge in corner kicks, while Le Moyne had a 20-12 lead in shots.

THE ACTION

  • Junior back Gray Pierson (Framingham, Mass./Framingham) nearly gave the hosts a lead in the fourth minute, firing a shot from the top of the box, but Gera made a diving save at the left post.
  • Saint Michael's scored a pair of quick goals soon thereafter to take the lead. In the 11th minute, Schramm's shot from the left end line was deflected away by Gera, leaving the net covered only by field players, and Marquardt pounced on the rebound and found a vacated left side of the goal at 10:38.
  • In the 14th minute, Martindale carried from beyond midfield toward the Dolphin box before serving just over the head of the final Le Moyne back, finding Pescina for a one-touch that he deftly lofted over the keeper and in at 13:36.
  • Pierson helped negate a Dolphin scoring chance in the 29th minute, catching up in time to harass first-year Cameron Stuart into shooting wide after initially having a breakaway bid.
  • In the 73rd minute, graduate student Max Buesch had a step on the defense and, with Barrett charging toward him, missed an open net to the right.
  • Marquardt also made a strong defensive play in the 82nd minute, sliding to block away first-year Jackson Card's good look from the right side of the box.
