The St. Thomas Aquinas men's soccer team dropped a 3-1 decision to the host Golden Falcons of Felician College.  STAC got off to a quick start as senior Jon Michael Nabais netted his second goal of the season off an assist from Renan Lopes just six minutes into action.

However, Felician was able to tie the score at one with a goal from Quincy Small at 17:09.  Both teams remained even throughout the first half but Smalls added the game winning goal along with a third in the second half to lift the home team to a 3-1 victory.  STAC out shot Felician 19-7 but were unable to wear down goal keeper Jason Smith who notched eleven saves for the game.  Nicolas Croce recorded one save for the Spartans who are now 1-3.

STAC will return to action on Wednesday as they travel to Bloomsburg College for a 7:30 PM game.
