WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
>> Saint Francis men's soccer earned a 1-1 result against Northeast Conference opponent Merrimack Sunday afternoon at the Stokes Soccerplex.
 
>> The Red Flash are now 6-0-7 overall and 4-0-3 in NEC play with 15 points.

TURNING POINT OF THE GAME
The Red Flash got on the board first in the 24th minute as Julian Jakopovic (Stuttgart, Germany) sent a ball to Milan Djajic (Belgrade, Serbia) who beat the Warriors backline and sent a ball to the Warriors' goalkeeper who deflected the shot into his own net. The goal was Djajic's second of the season.

With seven minutes left in the first half, the Red Flash made a push down field. Djajic attempted to cross the ball to Alex De Nittis (Unna, Germany) but was deflected away by a Warriors' defender. Charlie Lucero (Aurora, Colo.) regained possession and made a pass to De Nittis who attempted to make a sliding shot, but it just finished wide of the net.

In the 57th minute, goalkeeper Jordaine Jaeger (Munich, Germany) punched the ball up and out of play off of a Merrimack corner kick to keep the match leveled, 1-1.
