GAME FLOW & NOTES
- Matt DePerro (Baldwinsville, N.Y.) gave the Friars a 1-0 lead just 14:06 into the match. Brendan Constantine (Glastonbury, Conn.) played a cross into the box that Kevin Vang (Cranston, R.I.) headed down to the feet of DePerro. He was able to tap it in right on the goal line for his third goal of the year. All three of his goals this season have proven to be game winners.
- Initially, the assistant referee signaled that the play was offsides. The center referee then ruled that DePerro was kept onside by a St. John's defender who had slid out of bounds.
- Constantine and Vang both earned their second assists of the season on the play.
- The first half featured just three total shots. The Red Storm held a 2-1 advantage, but Providence had the lone shot on frame in the opening 45 minutes.
- Providence outshot the Red Storm 6-3 in a scoreless second half.
- Colin Miller (Bel Air, Md.) only had to make one official save in his ninth shutout of the season. He broke his career-high for shutouts in a season with tonight's clean sheet.
- Providence has recorded three-straight 1-0 wins. The Friars have not allowed a goal in 275:00.
- The Friars have nine shutouts this season. The program record for shutouts in a season is 11, which was set in 1984.
- Saint John's has not scored against Providence since the 2014 season.
