Presentation's Colin Quin scored twice in the second half, but the Saints could not overcome a steep first-half deficit, falling to Viterbo by a final count of 8-2 on Sunday.
Viterbo tallied four first-half goals to head into the break with the lead. Quin notched his first goal of the day in the 52nd minute off an assist by Cole Lewendowski.
Viterbo answered less than six minutes later and put up another four goals in the second period - including a penalty kick - to finish with eight. The V-Hawks had eight different goal scorers in the game, while Jack Convery assisted on three of those.
Quin's second goal was an unassisted tally in the 80th minute.
The Saints return home to face Mount Marty College on Thursday with a 5 p.m. kick.
