Inside The Stats / Game Notes:

  • Brothers Bonaventure (yes, his name is Bonaventure and he plays for St. Bonaventure) and Sixtus (La Salle) Akinlosuto faced each other in the match. Bonaventure, a sophomore, came off the bench to play 45 minutes on defense for the Bonnies while Sixtus, a freshman midfielder, also played in a reserve role. Neither brother recorded any stats.
  • St. Bonaventure's losing streak is now at eight games.
  • Senior Bobby Diaz relieved Figler at the start of the second half. It was his third game of the season.
  • The Bonnies played without starting midfielder Kieran Toland, who received his fifth yellow card of the season last Sunday against VCU and thus had to sit this game out.

Next Up: The Bonnies will return home to host Saint Joseph's this Sunday, Nov. 2 at 2:30 p.m. St. Bonaventure's seniors will be honored prior to the match.
