RIVERDALE, NY – The Iona College men’s soccer team saw its season come to a close Wednesday evening with a 1-0 loss to rival Manhattan.  The Gaels outshot the Jaspers 17-6, but only forced two shots on goal.  Senior Niels Kirch scored the lone score in the game on Manhattan’s only shot on net.

Sophomore Daniel Huertas had a game-high six total shots and two shots on goal.  The Maroon & Gold’s leading goal-scorer fired a shot on net in the fourth minute and 51^st minute, but graduate Deljan Bregasi stood tall in net and halted the chances.
