OLD WESTBURY, N.Y. — A solitary goal was enough for the SUNY College at Old Westbury to defeat the St. Joseph's University, N.Y. (Brooklyn) men's soccer team on Wednesday afternoon, 1-0. The deficit snaps the Bears' three-match conference winning streak, which they held since October 1.
How it Happened
The Bears outshot their opposition in the first 45 minutes, 7-2. However, one of the two Panther shots resulted in Roobens Celine's goal in the 26th minute. They took their one-goal lead into the intermission.
The navy and gray continued to push for a breakthrough but Old Westbury managed to keep the Bears off the board and maintain their 1-0 advantage.
