Men's Soccer Honors Four Seniors Hosting Washington Adventist in Home Finale

BROOKLYN, N.Y. — Matthias Spiegel (Wedel, Germany/Clovis H.S.) scored the lone goal for the Bears as the St. Joseph's College (Brooklyn) men's soccer team celebrated Senior Day wrapping up their 2015 home schedule with a 3-1 setback to Washington Adventist University on Thursday afternoon.

The Basics

• Final Score: Washington Adventist 3, St. Joseph's 1
• Records: Washington Adventist (3-8-2), St. Joseph's (0-12-2)
• Location: Brooklyn, N.Y.
• Field: Aviator Field

How It Happened

• Both squads played the first half evenly and the game remained deadlocked until the 44th minute when Rigoberto Miga received a ball in the box off a corner and it found the back of the net through traffic to put the visitors up 1-0.
• The Shock took a 2-0 lead just two-and-a-half minutes into the second half when Dominic Atubongakeng fired a shot from the top of the box that found the side netting.
• Washington Adventist maintained a 16-1 shot advantage in the second half and despite several scoring opportunities, couldn't pull away any further.
• Matthias Spiegel cut the deficit in half and gave the Bears some life scoring with just over 10 minutes left in regulation heading a loose ball sent by Bencion Barrios into the box on a corner kick.
• But the Bears couldn't close the gap and a Darwin Caceres goal with 1:34 to play ended any hopes of a comeback.
