There were upsets galore in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday night, perhaps none bigger than Fairleigh Dickinson’s shocking 1-0 victory against St. John’s in East Region action in New York.

Senior Antony Moore delivered a 36th minute strike to give the Knights the lead and their defense did the rest, holding off a Red Storm attack that never could find a way to get a shot past FDU goalkeeper Jacob Lissek.

In Virginia, goalkeeper Phil Saunders made a pair of penalty saves to help Maryland-Baltimore County upset Old Dominion in penalty kicks after ending the match in a scoreless draw.

Northeastern knocked off neighboring rival and ACC foe Boston College, 1-0, courtesy of a goal by junior Dante Marini. The victory sets up a showdown with New England powerhouse UConn.

One of the more dramatic results of the night saw Winthrop score a late equalizer from Achille Obougou before riding a trio of penalty kick saves from freshman goalkeeper Enrique Miranda to a penalty shootout victory against SMU.

Coastal Carolina made it look easy winning the best match-up of the first round, riding a pair of goals from top pro prospect Pedro Ribeiro to post a 3-0 victory against Elon.
