TEANECK, N.J. — The St. Joseph's College (Brooklyn) men's soccer team fell to Yeshiva University (4-5, 4-4 Skyline), 3-0, on Thursday evening from Votee Park. The loss put an end to the Bears' three-match unbeaten streak in which SJC went 2-0-1.

How it Happened

In a near-even first half, Jesus Cano (Brooklyn, N.Y./Cristo Rey Brooklyn) and Diego Volpe (Long Branch, N.J./Red Bank Catholic) combined for four of the Bears' five shots in the period.

A minute later, his strike doubled their lead.
