Marist Defeats Griffs in MAAC Men’s Soccer Opener

Kyle Galloway factored in all three of Marist's goals, aiding the Red Foxes to a 3-1 victory over Canisius in the first Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference contest for both squads on Wednesday afternoon at the Demske Sports Complex in downtown Buffalo.
 
Galloway assisted on Marist's first two goals, kickstarted by a Stefan Copetti tally in the 16th minute and Huib Achterkamp's 33rd-minute goal. He then opened the second half with a goal of his own, scoring just 14 seconds into the frame.
 
Lachlan Beever netted his first tally of the season, scoring in the 81st minute. Matt Spangler's cross was touched by Andrew Vannest, who allowed Beever to spin away from a Marist defender, depositing his right-footed strike into the bottom right corner of the goal.
 
Beever concluded the day with four shot attempts, with two of them on target.
 
William Howard, making his sixth straight start in net for the Griffs, made three saves.

Head Coach Dermot McGrane's Postgame Comments
"We let ourself down today. We are capable of playing at a much better level and there is no excuse for the performance we just put in. We need to get to work in practice over the next two days to get ready for a good Iona team this weekend."

GAME NOTES
• Wednesday marked the 26th all-time meeting between Marist and Canisius. The Red Foxes continue to own the all-time series lead, 16-8-2.
• Vannest recorded his first collegiate point, assisting on Beever's goal.
• Spangler's assist on Beever's goal was his first in a Canisius uniform. His last collegiate assist came with Findlay against Kentucky Wesleyan on Sept. 13, 2018.
 
UP NEXT
The Griffs will play its first road match in nearly a month as the Blue and Gold travel to New Rochelle, N.Y., to play Iona on Saturday. The first MAAC road match of the season is scheduled for a 2 p.m. first touch.
