EDISON, N.J. (Oct. 30, 2019) – Saint Peter’s University (11-5, 8-1 MAAC) has clinched the 2019 MAAC Men’s Soccer Regular Season Championship.
Saint Peter’s defeated Manhattan College 2-1 (OT) on Oct. 30 to propel the team to its eighth straight victory. With an Iona College (5-2-1 MAAC) loss to Rider University, the Peacocks pulled out of striking distance.
Jordan Jowers scored in the 51st minute to give the Peacocks a 1-0 lead, which they carried until the 81st minute when Berti Fourrier got the Jaspers on the board. Senior Frederik Lindqvist sealed the win for Saint Peter’s in overtime, keeping the team undefeated at home this season.
The lone conference loss for Saint Peter’s came in its season opener at Quinnipiac University. The Bobcats pulled out the win in double overtime by a score of 2-1. The Peacocks have not lost since that Oct. 2 meeting.
