BUFFALO, N.Y. - The D'Youville men's soccer team wrapped up East Coast Conference and regular-season action Saturday afternoon falling to Mercy, 14-0, at Dobson Field. The loss sees the Saints complete the regular season with a 4-9-3 record and an 0-8-1 mark in ECC play.  

As the final home contest of the season, Saturday marked senior day for the Saints as they honored William Anderson, Rob McNeal, Benjamin Cresanti, Jake Kowalewski, Nick Dumond, and Ahmad Rashid before the match.

The Mavericks (9-5-2 overall, 5-2-2 ECC) raced out of the gates with an early goal Saturday. Mathias Kuhn found the back of the net on a long-distance effort, beating Anderson with a knuckling shot from outside of the 18-yard box in the third minute. The D'Youville defense weathered the storm for the next 20 minutes despite facing an onslaught of shots from the league's third-place team.  

Mercy scored twice more in the first half via Pau Echarri in the 25th and 39th minutes. Echarri would complete his hat trick in the 58th minute on a penalty kick, the second converted and third opportunity for the Mavericks. Anderson dove to his right to save the first penalty kick in the 31st minute.
