Freshman forward scores game-winner three minutes into second half
Stony Brook, N.Y. - Freshman Leonardo Fernandes (North Babylon, N.Y.) scored the game-winning goal three minutes into the second half as the Stony Brook men's soccer team topped New York State rival Binghamton, 1-0. It was Fernandes' team-leading fourth goal for the Seawolves, who beat the Bearcats for just the second time in nine games. Stony Brook is 2-9-2, 1-2-0 America East while Binghamton is 6-5-1, 1-1-0.
In the 48th minute, sophomore Wilber Bonilla (Brentwood, N.Y.) found himself with space and slipped a pass to Fernandes, who turned, faced the goalie and with one dribble to his left, sent a shot past Binghamton keeper Jason Stenta's left for the score. It was only the 11th goal allowed by Stenta, who entered the game among the nation's best in goals against.
Neither keeper was tested that often as Stenta finished with one save and Stony Brook redshirt freshman goalie Anthony Rogic (Boonton, N.J.) had two.
Stony Brook continues its three-game home stand with a match against Albany next Saturday evening. Kick-off against the Great Danes is scheduled for 7 pm.
