The Cardinals hosted the Viterbo V-Hawks (6-7-3, 4-2-1) on Wednesday night; the second half was finished on Thursday night, when the Cardinals dropped a tight match, 1-0.
In the first half of the action, Santiago Rivera had the Cardinals' best shot off a long-distance free kick; it was narrowly saved.
It was the V-Hawks who struck first at the 17:18 mark and ended up being the difference maker and game-winner.
When the team resumed play, it was even action with Saint Mary's with eight shots compared to Viterbo's nine. The teams kept it scoreless in the second half to finish the match.
Bode Jacobsen made five saves on the night.
