FDU Falls at Stony Brook, 2-1
The Fairleigh Dickinson men’s soccer team dropped a hard-fought road match at Stony Brook Sunday evening, 2-1, in Stony Brook, NY. With the victory, the Seawolves improve to 2-3-2 on the season, while the Knights fall to 3-2-1 overall.

However, the lead was short-lived as Stony Brook’s Berian Gobeil tied the game at one in the 70th minute on a penalty kick.
With six minutes left in the match, Leonardo Fernandez found Raphael Abreu for the eventual game-winning goal to give the Seawolves a 2-1 lead which they would never relinquish.
