JERSEY CITY, NJ – The Iona College men's soccer team suffered a 4-0 loss at Saint Peter's on Wednesday afternoon.  A pair of quick goals in quick succession goals in each half be felled the Maroon & Gold as they drop to 3-3-1 in MAAC play.

Iona controlled the tempo at the start of the second half, but senior Ezquiel Cei assisting on Jowers's goal in the 74th minute quelled the Gael momentum.  The final goal was scored by Romero, his second of the game, in the 75th minute.
