For most of chilly, rainy afternoon, it looked like the men's soccer team was going to complete a doubleheader sweep of Roberts Wesleyan, but a late goal contributed to a 3-2 setback on Friday.

Sean Geoghegan (Klidare, Ireland/Naas City)was the first goalie tested in the game as he was forced to make a save on a shot by Johnny Lobene in the 18^th minute.

He wasn't as fortunate in the 32^nd minute when Alex Harling juked the Knights' defender and beat Geoghegan to the near post, giving the Redhawks a 1-0 lead.

Queens responded with the equalizer nearly five minutes later when substitute, Alex Schweitzer (Bayside, N.Y./Holy Cross) beat the man guarding him and flicked the ball past the Roberts Wesleyan goalie to even the score at 1-1.

The Redhawks would take their second lead of the game in the second half of play when Michael Cunningham was in transition and outran the Knights' defenders and beat the goalie for the marker, and a 2-1 Roberts Wesleyan edge.

But, once again, Queens College showed some moxie and heart, as they responded with the game-tying goal for the second time on the afternoon.  In the 86^th minute, a Roberts Wesleyan player pulled down a Knights' forward in the box, causing the referee to blow the whistle for a penalty shot.

On the ensuing penalty, Danny Stoker (London, England/RSSKL) calmy drilled the ball to his left and past the diving goalie, bring the score to 2-2.

However, it wasn't meant to be that day for Queens College, as the Redhawks scored the game winning goal in the 89^th minute of play when Jake Zito, who was in the right side of the Knights' box, flicked the ball over to Matthew Hohler  at the top of the goalie box, and he beat Geoghegan for the score, giving the Redhawks the 3-2 win.

The Queens College men's soccer team returns to action on Thursday, October 18, when they host Caldwell College at 3:30 PM from Knights Field.
