LAST TIME OUT

The Providence Friars scored two late goals to take down the Pirates who had not fallen at Owen. T. Carroll Field in 682 days. JP Marin (Briarwood, N.Y.) and Mattias Almeida Sundell (Sweden) tallied for The Hall in the setback. After a relatively quiet start to the game, the Pirates finally broke through in the 27^th minute when Camil Koreichi (Paris, France) found Marin who made a move to get past a Providence defender and curve a left-footed strike past the Friar keeper for the opening goal.
