HOW IT HAPPENED:
  • The first half was very even, with the overall shots sitting at 4-3; however, there was only one shot on goal in the first between the two teams - an early chance from Saint Rose's Aaron Mula that was scooped up by AIC sophomore goalkeeper Ioannis Iatroudis.
  • Iatroudis stayed sharp throughout the game, stopping a hard shot with an aggressive move toward Saint Rose's Filippo Bellu with about 30 minutes remaining.
  • The Golden Knights were able to get on the board in the 78th minute, however, when Ismael Aourid notched his first goal of the year with a header off a corner kick from Carlos Menjivar.
  • AIC threatened late, but a shot with 1:30 left by junior captain Jake Durham went into the arms of Saint Rose goalie Gianni Carillo, and a shot by sophomore back Stefan Balan off a corner kick sailed high to end the game 1-0.

BUZZWORTHY:
  • This is the first time in 10 matchups that Saint Rose has recorded a win at AIC.
  • AIC has not been shut out in back-to-back games since the 2016 season, when the Yellow Jackets fell in a pair of games to Mercy College on September 7 and September 10.
  • This is the fourth straight year that AIC has fallen in its home opener.

UP NEXT:
  • AIC heads to Stonehill College on Saturday, September 15, to continue conference play.
  • Kickoff is set for 11 a.m. in Easton, Massachusetts.
