BRONX, N.Y. – Saint Louis received goals from
CJ Coppola and
Grady Easton in a big 2-1 Atlantic 10 Conference victory at Fordham Saturday night in the Bronx, N.Y.
Â
The win helped the Billikens vault to second place in the A-10 with a 6-4-1 overall mark and a 3-1-1 record in A-10 play. Fordham drops to 3-2-7 overall and 1-1-3 in the league.

Freshman
CJ Coppola got the Billikens on the board in the 12th minute with his third goal in as many games. He buried a rebound off a
John Klein shot for his fourth goal of the season.

Easton made it 2-0 in the 72nd minute, the eventual game-winner, off an assist from
Christian Buendia. Buendia sent a long ball into the area, and Easton headed it home to make it a 2-0 game.
