LOUDONVILLE, N.Y. – Jaspers drop their two-point lead in the third, falling to the Saints 11-10.
After trailing by two points in the first quarter, the Jaspers turned the tide in the second, outscoring the Saints 3-1. The first of the three Jasper goals didn't come until 9:26 in the second. This goal was scored by

Kyle Gucwa. The score was tied twice before the half ended, leaving the score at 5-5.
The Jaspers seized their first significant lead of the night deep into the seemingly quiet third quarter.

The Jaspers' foothold slipped in the fourth quarter, allowing the Saints to regain the lead late in the game.
Leading the Jaspers' offense tonight were both
Scott O'Connor and
James Basile, each contributing a pair of goals.
The Jaspers have one more game in the regular season, returning home next Saturday to host Wagner College on April 20th at 4:00 PM.
