New head coach Rob Irvine and La Salle are off to the program’s best start since 2012 after a thrilling comeback victory over Saint Peter’s in Jersey City on Wednesday.
After a scoreless first half, the Explorers (3-1-0) took the lead in the 59th minute on a goal from Johnny Ciarlante, but twice fell behind - first after conceding a pair of goals three minutes apart, and again in the 86th minute when Brandon Goncalves’ second of the match put the Peacocks in front.
Joe Bianco’s goal with time running out sent the match to overtime, where Conor Nichols won it just over four minutes in.
