Newton, MA - The Lasell Lasers men's soccer team fell to the Saint Joseph (CT) Blue Jays by a final score of 4-1 on Wednesday. The Lasers fall to 2-4-2 on the season and 2-3-2 in GNAC play while the Blu Jays moved to 7-0-1 and 5-0-1.

The second half saw the Blue Jays double their lead quickly in the 51st minute, followed by another goal in the 59th minute. The asers would get one back on a Ryan Klopchin header off of a Liam Thompson corner kick, making it 3-1. USJ would add a late goal to make the final 4-1.
Lasers goalie Antonio Centracchio finished the game with five saves.
