Flushing, N.Y.. - Sophomore striker Dave Pohl (Weymouth, Mass.) scored two goals as the Skyhawks rallied from an early 1-0 deficit to post a 3-1 season-opening win over host Queens College.

The Knights' Jesus Daniel Cano deflected in a shot only 3:51 into the contest to give Queens the early lead. Stonehill responded with Pohl netting his first career goal, heading in a cross off an assist from Dan Holley (Manorville, N.Y.), to knot the score at 1-1.

The score remained the same until halfway through the second half when Pohl and junior Kevin Halloran (Tyngsboro, Mass.) scored back-to-back goals a little more than six minutes apart. Pohl's second score came off an assist from senior Joey Silva (Brockton, Mass.), while Halloran's tally came off a free kick when he headed in a pass from sophomore Ryan Hess (Springfield, Mass.).

Sophomore netminder Brian Guerrini (Glastonbury, Conn.) made 10 saves in goal for the Skyhawks, including turning away a penalty shot in the 78th minute, while the Queens duo of Brian Brabazon and Damian Skiba made seven stops.

Stonehill returns to action on Saturday, September 1 when it hosts Northeast-10 rival LeMoyne at 11 a.m.
