BABSON PARK, Mass.—After playing to a scoreless draw through two overtime periods, visiting Saint Joseph's College defeated Babson College in penalty kicks, 4-2, in an NCAA Tournament First Round match at Hartwell-Rogers Field on Saturday afternoon.

Saint Joseph's, which extended its unbeaten streak to 20 games, is now 16-1-5 on the year. The Monks also advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament after first-round losses in each of their first two appearances. Babson sees its season come to a close at 11-5-4.

Junior Ian Fromhein (Osterville, Mass.) and senior Joe McWeeney (Lexington, Mass.) both converted penalty kicks for the Beavers. First-year Austin Mankouski (Suffield, Conn.), who was making the first start of his career, finished with two saves in regulation.

Sophomores Brett Mattos (Mahopac, N.Y.), Daulton Gaumer (Corona, Calif.) and Rory Twomey (South Windsor, Conn.), as and first-year Noah Robinson (Wappingers Falls, N.Y.) all buried penalties for the Monks. Sophomore goalkeeper Blake Mullen (Manchester, Conn.) turned away seven shots and made one save in the shootout.

The Green and White finished with a 17-8 edge in shots and 9-5 advantage in corners over 110 minutes. First-year Youcef Ziad (Holbrook, Mass.) had his header saved off a cross from senior Kofi Abankroh (Worcester, Mass.) in the 19th minute and sophomore Jackson Greenspan (Meriden, N.H.) missed high with his header following a restart in the 27th minute.

Saint Joseph's junior Trevor Lopes (Cumberland, R.I.) missed high in the 57th minute, while the Beavers saw a free kick deflect off a defender and off the post in the 73rd minute. Mullen denied Fromhein's bid with a diving stop from the edge of the six-yard box in the first overtime to keep the game deadlocked.
