Binghamton, N.Y. - Stony Brook's Alejandro Fritz (Budapest Hungary) scored his third goal of the season late in the first half to tie the game at 1-1 but the Binghamton Bearcats scored four second half goals to win 5-1. Despite the loss, the #Seawolves managed to secure a playoff spot thanks to UMass Lowell's victory over New Hampshire earlier in the day.

Goal Recaps

• Bret Celeste opened the scoring in the 12th minute when he corralled a rebound from a free kick and hammered it home. 
• Fritz tied the game in the 42nd minute with a clinical finish. He got on the end of a cross from freshman Danny Espinoza (East Meadow, N.Y.) and deftly chipped it over the charging goalkeeper. 
• Logan Roberts broke the tie just a minute into the second half with a header after he was left free on the far post. 
• The score would stay at 2-1 until the 81st minute when Pascal Trapp redirected a cross over Orban's shoulder and inside the far post.
• The fourth goal was credited as an own goal as a Bearcat corner kick went off a Stony Brook defender and into the goal.
• Luca Bottoni rounded out the scoring in the 88th minute, getting enough on his shot to sneak it past goalkeeper Jason Orban (Manorville, N.Y.).

Highlights

• Trailing 2-1, the Seawolves had a few quality chances to tie the game. Fernando Wadskier (Caracas, Venezuela) connected with a header on a corner kick that was destined for the back of the net but the ball was cleared off the line by a well-positioned Bearcat defender. 
• Fritz almost tied the game late in the match with his second of the night but his left-footed shot was pulled inches off the mark. 

Notes

• Binghamton outshot Stony Brook 20-15 for the match and 10-5 in shots on goal.
• Wadskier led the Seawolves with four shots and two shots on goal.
• Orban made five stops.
