Framingham, Mass. – October 29, 2024 – A goal with 11 minutes to play by Connor Policarpio (Bristol, Conn.) lifted the Springfield College men's soccer team to a 1-0 victory over Framingham State University on Tuesday night at Maple Street Field.

Springfield will head into its regular season finale on Saturday with an overall record of 6-7-3, while Framingham State will do the same with a mark of 1-13-2.

Policarpio registered his eighth goal of the season in tonight's victory tying him for second most in the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference with Shikhar Motupally of MIT and Alasdair Ferrier of Wheaton College.
