St. Joseph’s falls in NCAA men’s soccer tournamentThe Monks hold defending champion Tufts scoreless but lose 4-2 on penalty kicks in a second-round match.
...After 110 minutes of scoreless soccer – no surprise for a St. Joseph’s team that allowed only one goal all season – the Monks lost 4-2 in penalty kicks to third-ranked Tufts.
“My guys are warriors,” Monks Coach Adrian Dubois said. “They’re disciplined. They never quit. They’re resilient.
“Only one team has been able to score on us. The defending national champions couldn’t even score on us.”
Arguably a major reason why the game went to penalty kicks was the play of Monks keeper Blake Mullen, who made 11 saves – most of which were testers.
In the first half alone, Mullen made three difficult saves. In the second half, Gavin Tasker of Tufts took a shot from inside the box, but Mullen leaped and punched the ball away.
