Stony Brook suffers OT loss to Vermont

November 2, 2013

 

Stony Brook, N.Y. - Despite another strong performance on both sides of the ball, the Stony Brook men's soccer team was not able to convert its effort into points, falling to Vermont, 1-0 in overtime, Saturday night at LaValle Stadium.
 
The defeat leaves Stony Brook at 6-9-1 overall and 1-4-1 in America East. The Catamounts improved to 9-3-4 overall and 3-2-1 in the conference.
 
Head Coach Ryan Anatol's Reaction
"We are disappointed with the result. I thought the first 45 minutes we played really well. Defensively, we were very sound and limited their chances. We moved the ball well and created our own chances. To give up a goal on a restart is disappointing. From a performance standpoint, I thought we had the better of it. But when you don't finish your chances, you can't give away goals like that."
 
Goal Recap
In the 92nd minute, a foul led to a free kick. Beau Johnson launched the kick into the box, Brian Wright headed the ball off to his left for a streaking Scott Kisling, who angled his kick just inside the near post on the top right corner of the net.
