WEST HARTFORD, Conn. – Sophomore midfielder Mario Milardo (Middletown, Conn.) scored the lone goal in the 58th minute, lifting the University of Saint Joseph (USJ) men's soccer team past Regis College (Regis), 1-0, Tuesday afternoon at the USJ Soccer Field in West Hartford, Conn. With the victory, the Blue Jays improved to 6-3-2 overall and remained unbeaten in GNAC play at 5-0-2, while the Pride dropped to 4-7-1 overall and 4-2-0 in the GNAC.

HOW IT HAPPENED

  • Both sides battled for control early, with sophomore midfielder Elis Sulollari (Cheshire, Conn.) nearly putting the Blue Jays ahead in the 12th minute when his strike ricocheted off the post.

  • USJ maintained the bulk of possession through the first half but couldn't find the breakthrough, sending the teams into halftime tied 0-0.

  • Just over 12 minutes into the second half, the Blue Jays broke the deadlock. Senior forward Emmanuel Ofori (East Hartford, Conn.) linked up with junior midfielder Nate Gabriel (Naugatuck, Conn.), who fired a cross towards Milardo. The sophomore calmly headed home the ball from close range to give USJ a 1-0 lead in the 58th minute.

  • Regis pressed for an equalizer but was denied by sophomore goalkeeper Will Slayton (Manchester, Conn.), who made two key saves in the final 15 minutes to preserve the clean sheet, and the victory, 1-0.

  • Ofori notched his team-leading fourth assist of the season, while Gabriel recorded his third.
