SBU Sports: Men’s soccer falls to Drexel Dragons

Senior Jonas Bickus tallied his fourth goal of the season, but the Stony Brook men’s soccer team ultimately fell to Drexel  University 2-1 on Oct. 12 at Lavalle Stadium.

Drexel put pressure on the Seawolves early after scoring a pair of goals in the 16th and 22nd minute from Giancarlo Vaccaro and Dominick Bachstein.

Stony Brook wasted no time answering back as Jonas Bickus scored off a penalty kick in the 23rd minute, cutting the deficit in half. The Seawolves goalie Rushon Sandy would make three saves through the first half to hold the score as Stony Brook only trailed by one.

In the second half, the Seawolves tallied more shots and corner kicks, but the Dragon held on making four saves in the second frame to secure the 2-1 victory.

The squad will return to the pitch on Oct. 19 when they head to North Carolina to take on UNC Wilmington.
