How it Happened
The Engineers came firing out of the gate as Josh Gaudiano forced a save from KSC goalie
Anthony Pasciuto (four saves) in the fourth minute of the game.  RPI took the lead for good when Michael Harten scored in the 13th minute, tapping home a rebound from a shot by Gaudiano.  The Engineers doubled the lead two minutes later; RPI was awarded a free kick right on the edge of the area, and while the Owls were setting up their defense, Joe Di Miceli's quick thinking allowed him to roll the ball into the net.
Billy Chissoe added a third goal for the visitors in the 21st minute, controlling a bouncing ball before scoring into the top right corner past the outstretched arms of Pasciuto.  Keene State struggled to mount any attack, but
Rahul Drukpa, making his first start of the season forced a save out of RPI goalie Luke Brezek in the 64th minute.  RPI outshot Keene State by a slim 11-8 margin, but held a 7-1 edge in shots on goal.  Brezek made one save in net for RPI.
