GNAC ST Joseph's (Conn) wins its first conference championship at JWU in Providence. 2-1

Although I was itching to see ST Joseph's (ME.) vs JWU season rematch for the championship, the regular season match went to JWU after some horrible RI ref calls (game ended with coaches pulling players apart). Very glad to see Blue Jays take their first conference championship. Well deserved for their efforts. And honestly (Bias yes) JWU did not deserve to be there. I follow the GNAC and JWU wins were all gifted PK's or set pc goals.

Not sure SJC will fair well in NCAA tourney but they did end their season the best in their teams history. Kudos!

If I researched correctly the St Joseph's (CT) Bluejays in their five year history had not scored a goal off of St Joseph's (ME), the mid-major regional powerhouse for at least half a decade.  5-0 losses, 3-0 losses, including a 3-0 loss earlier this season.

The CT version scored in the 79th and 89th minutes to take down the Monks on the Monks' home pitch.

ST Joseph's (ME) was down 2 key players (#19 J Greenleaf on D and top scorer #7 A Ward (F)went out early 2nd half with twisted ankle.
Monks were plagued by minor injuries this season. #11 Gus Ford (F) missed 4 games and still managed 7 tallies (16 pts overall). Regular season record 11-1 conference.

ST Joes (Conn) did execute a perfect game plan and I predicted if they play that game in R.I against JWU they would win their first conference championship. And they did! Congratulations to ST Joseph's Conn on the win such a great season end run.
