They are not only #1 in the NEC, they are #22 in the country!

Would be even higher if they hadn't lost to #54 Lafayette. The loss to #7 Iowa was expected.

Stags 3-1 at the half outshooting SHU 15/4 and 8/2 SOG and with 7/1 corners.

SHU scored first for their 1-0 lead.

Stags win 6-1 and go to (2-0)(8-2) on a 4 game winning streak.

"We started off a little shaky," Head Coach Jackie Kane said. "Once we settled into the game with our first couple of goals, we pretty much followed our game plan and settled in from that point. I was especially proud of how the team responded after Sacred Heart scored that first goal."

119 fans at the game.
