Saint Joe’s Soccer Takes Shutout Streak into Night Game vs. St. Thomas Aquinas

On the back of stellar defense and exceptional goaltending, the Saint Joseph soccer team has dominated the Greater Middlesex Conference Red Division. 

Since playing to a 1-1 draw at New Brunswick on September 7, the Falcons have not allowed a goal in five matches. 

Goalkeeper Troy Boucher ‘25, a Coast Guard Academy commit, has made 32 saves on the season to lead the charge. 

On the offensive side of the ball, 10 different Saint Joe’s players have tallied a point, including five different goal scorers. Joseph Marinello ‘26 leads the team with four goals, with Rodger Ward ‘25, Xavier Welbeck-Taveras ‘27 and Noah Charnnecky ‘27 each ripping in two a piece. Lucas Manrique ‘25 has dished out five assists. 

The Falcons host St. Thomas Aquinas in the opening round of the GMC World Cup, a revamped version of the Greater Middlesex Conference tournament that is structured like the Fifa World Cup.

The game will kickoff at 6 p.m. under the lights at Brenner Field Field.
