Quinnipiac men’s soccer opens new field with victory over Saint Joseph’s
The Quinnipiac men’s soccer team was victorious in its home opener on Saturday, defeating Saint Joseph’s by a final score of 1-0. Men’s soccer was the third team of the week to play its first home game of the season at the new Quinnipiac Turf Complex.
It was the first victory of the season for the Bobcats, who improved to 1-2 after losses at Boston College and UConn. The Hawks fell to 1-1-1 on the young season.
Junior midfielder Matthew Taylor scored the lone goal of the game in just the fifth minute of the game. It began with a cross from the left corner off the foot of graduate captain James Doig. Junior forward Rashawn Dally took the pass, held it for a split second, then delivered Taylor a pass that led to the score.
“It’s great scoring goals, especially when it leads to the team winning,” Taylor said. “Now we just need to kick on from here.”
