Iona MSOC and Rider Play to 0-0 Draw

NEW ROCHELLE, NY - The Iona University men's soccer team played to a scoreless draw with Rider on Wednesday afternoon at Mazzella Field. With the decision, Iona remains unbeaten in four home contests this season, as well as in league play.

MATCH SUMMARY

Iona dominated possession for much of a rain-soaked afternoon in New Rochelle, limiting Rider to just five six total shots. Despite being outshot, the Broncs had arguably the best chance of the afternoon. A loose ball, coupled with Juan Alfaro Monge off his line, led to a shot from Jack McGeechan that rang off of the crossbar.

Earlier in the contest, Monge did well to make an athletic stop on a try from Guillaume Sarrabayrouse, the only shot on goal for the visitors. Sarrabayrouse launched a shot from distance that Monge corralled with both hands as he back-pedaled, then let go of the ball to keep it from falling back into his net, where his momentum took him.

Iona had 14 shots in all on Wednesday afternoon, with five ending up on net. Multiple shots were blocked by defenders and Iona's constant pressure continued to present opportunities for the Gaels, but they would leave with a draw.

NOTABLE NUGGETS

  • Iona finished with a stark advantage in shots (14-6) and shots on goal (5-1).
  • The Gaels remain unbeaten at Mazzella Field this season through four games (2-0-2).
  • The Maroon & Gold moved to 1-0-1 in league play with the decision. Iona topped Marist (Preseason No. 1) and tied Rider (Preseason No. 2) to open league play.
  • Today's decision ended a three-match win streak for Rider over Iona. The Gaels had previously lost nine of the last 10 matches to the Broncs entering today.
  • The draw was the first between Iona and Rider since 2003.

UP NEXT

The Gaels welcome Manhattan to Mazzella Field on Saturday, October 8 at 1:00 p.m. in New Rochelle. The Maroon & Gold will host senior day festivities prior to the match versus the Jaspers.
