Saint Joseph's powered past Albertus with a pair of goals from Noah Robinson and a goal each from Kuma Onyejose and Austin Ward.
Onyejose put the Monks on the scoreboard in the 15th minute following a nice feed from Keenan Welzel before Robinson extended the hosts margin to two after scoring his first of the game at the 16:37 mark. Ward would close out the half netting his second goal of the season and the Falcons would head into the locker room trailing by 3-0.
Less than two minutes into the second stanza, Robinson struck again with his second of the game and gave the Monks a four-goal cushion. Despite four shot attempts, the Falcons were unsuccessful against the Monks' defensive line and suffered its first shutout of the season.
