BROOKLYN, N.Y. — The St. Joseph's College (Brooklyn) men's soccer team lost 2-0 to the College of Mount Saint Vincent on Saturday afternoon from the campus of Kingsborough Community College. A pair of first-half goals were enough to see the Dolphins improve to 5-1-1 in Skyline play (7-1-2 overall) while the Bears dropped to 2-6-1 overall (0-4-1 Skyline).

How it Happened

Led by Eric Santiago Torres (Woodside, N.Y./Forest Hills) and YeonJun Jung (Seoul, South Korea) with a pair of shots, the SJC attack fired off six in the opening 20 minutes, compared to the Dolphins' three.
