Philadelphia, PA . - The La Salle Men's Soccer Team fell to Atlantic 10 cross town rival Saint Joseph's tonight, Friday, October 10, 2003, 1-0. La Salle drops to 3-5-3 on the season and 1-2 in the A-10.

The Explorers outshot the Hawks 13-10 and put on tremendous pressure in the second half but fell short as Saint Joseph's scored the lone goal of the game.

Matt James (Skippack, Pa./Perkiomen Valley H.S.) a senior forward for the Hawks, tallied the gamewinner at 8:15, for his second goal of the season. Classmate Andrew Kulinski (Turnersville, N.J./St. Augustine Prep) set up the goal as he took a shot, which was saved by La Salle's Stash Graham (Tampa, FL/Jesuit). Kulinski then collected the rebound and sent it to a breaking James, who converted from close range.

Graham, who was very active in pushing La Salle forward offensively throughout the second half, made a key save with nine minutes to play. SJU's James took a shot from 40 yards out on the left sideline with Graham out of position, but the keeper was able to make the stop. He finished the game with four saves.

La Salle will travel to Temple on Sunday, October 12, 2003 for a 1:00 p.m. match-up as they continue Atlantic 10 action.
