Queens, N.Y. - The Adelphi University men's soccer team played host to Atlantic Soccer Conference foe Florida Atlantic University (FAU) on Saturday, October 27 at Belson Stadium on the campus of St. John's University. FAU struck first, but the Panthers responded in the second half, knotting the score at one and forcing a 1-1 tie. The results give Adelphi an overall record of 2-10-3 and 1-2-1 in the ASC, while FAU is 6-7-2 overall and 3-0-1 in conference. After 40 minutes of scoreless play the Owls broke through in when they were awarded a free kick just outside of Adelphi's penalty box. Liam Ogle struck the ball from 20 yards out and beat Panther goalkeeper Vincent Treglia with a strike that slipped into the lower left corner of the net. The game would remain, 1-0, in favor of FAU until the 85th minute. Andrew Worth sent a ball toward the Owl goal from the right side of the field and struck the post. The ball bounced off the post and hit the chest of Kemalie Preston, and slipped past Phillip Lamarre and into the FAU net. After 20 scoreless minutes of overtime the game was called a draw. Treglia made two saves in the game, while Lamarre picked up four. Adelphi returns to action on Wednesday, October 31 when they play host to Columbia at 7:00 pm. |
