Getting his 2nd start of the season, in one of the most important matches of the year for Rhode Island FC, Mark Doyle wasted no time and scored RIFC's only goal of the match in the 4th minute to put RIFC up 1-0 in their away derby against Hartford Athletic. Doyle would go on to play nearly the full 90 minutes winning half of his duels and finishing with 3 total shots.
