Cresson, PA - The Mount Aloysius College men's soccer team began their 2017 season today with a close win as the Mounties edged out visiting Marymount University by a final score of 1-0.

In the second half of play, the Mounties Erik Johansson got himself free on a run to the back past and hit a strong header to goal. However, the Marymount keeper made a point-blank save to keep the game scoreless.
