Saint Peter’s Falls to Marist 4-0 BY ISAIAH HARRIS Contributing Writer

Marist defeated Saint Peter’s 4-0 Saturday after- noon at Jaroschak Field in a MAAC women’s soc- cer matchup. The Saint Peter’s Peacocks (2-11-0, 0-7-0 MAAC) couldn’t seem to hold their own against the Red Foxes (7-6-2, 5-2-0 MAAC). Marist held them to zero shots in the first half. The Peacocks ended up with five shots in total with only one being on goal. The Red Foxes wasted no time getting their first goal. Rycke Guiney scored off a header in the 4th minute of action. Marissa Mertens found the back of the net in the 14th minute when she landed a shot from about 20 yards out that went over the head of Peacock’s goal- keeper, Molly O’Halloran. With Marist having a 2-0 lead before halftime, Saint Peter’s coach, Rob Bielan, decided to make a goalkeep- © ISAIAH HARRIS er change. Kelsey Roberts entered the game in the 21st well.
