Men's Soccer Drops CNE Opener To Roger Williams, 1-0

BEVERLY, Mass. — The Endicott men's soccer team suffered its first loss of the 2025 season on Friday evening at Hempstead Stadium. The Gulls fell 1-0 to Roger Williams in the Conference of New England (CNE) opener.

After a scoreless first half in which the Gulls outshot the Hawks 10-3, it was the visitors who found the back of the net first in the contest.

Dylan Thomas (Norwalk, Conn.) controlled a loose ball in the Endicott defensive zone, made a nifty move, and then sent a rocket into the lower left side of the net to put the Hawks in front in the 57th minute.

The Gulls were unable to find a game-equalizer in the final 33 minutes of play, and ultimately fell to the Hawks by a 1-0 final score.

Brady O'Toole (Concord, Mass.) dropped to 2-1-0 on the season despite his season-high five saves (.833 save percentage).

BEYOND THE BOX SCORE

• The Gulls are 9-3 against the Hawks dating back to 2015.
• First regular season conference home loss for Endicott since 9/23/23 (4-1 loss to Suffolk).
• O'Toole's season save percentage stands at .909 following today's match.
• Aidan Sheehan (Arlington, Mass.) led the Gulls with three shots (two on net) in the loss.
• Carter McCoy (Monroe, Conn.) was the lone Gull to play a full 90 minutes (outside of O'Toole).
