Durham, N.H. - Senior Alejandro Fritz (Budapest, Hungary) put the Stony Brook men's soccer team (4-5-2, 1-1-0 AE) in front 1-0, but New Hampshire responded for three unanswered, first half goals en route to a 3-2 victory over the Seawolves on Saturday night.

Highlights

• Fritz's first career goal was assisted by his fellow countryman, Vince Erdei (Budapest, Hungary), who broke free from the Wildcat defense, drew a defender and slipped a pass over to Fritz. The midfielder took a good first touch, setting himself up to finish with his favored left-foot. 
• The Stony Brook lead was short-lived as A.J. Albers tied the game up at 1-1 three minutes later, hitting a cross first time inside the far post.
• Fazal Nabi put the home team in front for good in the 26th minute, sneaking a left-footed shot from the top of the box inside the far post.
• The Wildcats were awarded a penalty kick in the 44th minute. Chris Wingate sent Jason Orban (Manorville, N.Y.) the wrong way to up the Wildcat lead to 3-1.
• Erdei brought the Seawolves within 3-2, with his fifth goal of the season in the 75th minute, finishing in a maze of traffic in front of goal.

Notes

• Shots in the match were 14-11 in favor of the Wildcats and 8-6 in shots on goal.
• Freshman Serge Gamwanya (Kinshasa, Congo) led Stony Brook with four shots and four shots goal.
• The Seawolves are 3-3-1 when scoring the first goal.
