BRONX, N.Y. – Playing in their third consecutive overtime contest, the Mount Saint Mary College men's soccer team lost another heartbreaking Skyline Conference game, this time to Maritime College by a score of 2-1. The Knights fell to 0-8-1 overall and to 0-2-1 in the conference.

Maritime sophomore Ryan Nugent (Carmel, N.Y.) scored the game-winner in the sixth minute of the first overtime period. A bouncing ball in the box was misplayed by the Mount keeper, allowing Nugent to fire home a shot from close range to send the Privateers to victory.

The Privateers only reached overtime because of a late goal by junior Tom Federico (Islip, N.Y.). Federico found the back of the net after a rebound with just 12:35 remaining.

Mount Saint Mary opened the scoring in the 31st minute, as sophomore Drew Altieri (Voorheesville, N.Y.) broke a long scoreless streak for the Knights. Altieri released a strong shot that hit the Maritime goalkeeper before banking into the net off a defender.

Mount freshman goalkeeper Matthew Darling (Staatsburg, N.Y.) made seven stops in defeat. Maritime sophomore keeper Michael Vanadia (Commack, N.Y.) picked up the win by making five saves.

The Knights return to action on Wednesday, September 29 with a home Skyline game against the College of Mount Saint Vincent. Game time is scheduled for 7:00 p.m., but fans are invited to arrive early for the blessing of the new athletic complex. Pre-game festivities begin at 6:00 p.m.
