Final Stats

Stony Brook, N.Y. - After an even battle for much of the game, the Philadelphia University men's soccer team scored two second-half goals to earn a 3-1 victory over Stony Brook at Seawolves Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The Rams (3-3) struck first, when junior midfielder Josip Babic's cross found junior defender Lou Sigmund on the left side. Sigmund's shot to the far post gave Philadelphia the 1-0 edge at the 12:06 mark.

Thirteen minutes later, a Rams foul set up a Stony Brook free kick 25 yards out. Sophomore defender Chris Musinski's shot sailed just over the head of Rams goalkeeper Justin Hewins to even the game at 1-1.

Despite outshooting the Rams 21-12 over the course of the game, the Seawolves (0-7) could not manage to connect and break the tie. Instead, the Rams went ahead for good in the 61st minute, when a header in the box bounced off a Stony Brook defender and into the goal. Philadelphia sealed the victory when senior forward David Ortega collected a rebound and scored in the 82nd minute.

Hewins finished with seven saves for Philadelphia, while Stony Brook's Dan Ferrin had six.

The Seawolves return to action on Wednesday when they travel to face Sacred Heart. Kickoff is 4 p.m.
