New Haven, CT (Sept. 21, 2017) – The Purchase College men's soccer win streak was snapped at Albertus Magnus Thursday night.

Magnus goalkeeper Joe Russo made four saves in net, while Ritchy Jean Pierre scored the game-winning goal to lead the hosts past Purchase, 1-0. The loss broke Purchase's four-game win streak.

The Panthers are now 4-4 on the season. The Falcons improved to 4-3 in the non-conference matchup.

With the score knotted at zero at the break, Jean Pierre broke through early in the second stanza for the eventual game-winner. His first tally of the season came at the 50th minute off a feed from junior Tyler Saad.

Purchase threatened the Falcons at the 77th minute mark as a foul on the hosts forced a penalty kick, but Anthony Iurillo (SR/Whitestone, NY) was unable to score the equalizer as the ball went over the cross bar. 

The Falcons' backline, along with Russo, kept the potent Purchase attack off the board for the remainder of the way to secure the home win.
Albertus Magnus held the advantage in shots, 17-11, including a 7-4 edge in shots on goal.

Iurillo paced the Panthers' offense with a game-high three shots, including two shots on goal.
