STONY BROOK, N.Y. -- The Stony Brook men's soccer team fell to Hartford, 1-0 on a goal in the 86th minute on Friday night at LaValle Stadium. With the result, the Seawolves fall to 3-8-1 (0-3-0 AE) and Hartford improves to 7-2-3 (2-0-1 AE).
Quoting head coach Ryan Anatol
"We're disappointed with the result. As far as play, I thought we played pretty well and controlled large parts of the game. I think we could have been a little bit more decisive in the final period to create some more chances and better opportunities. Obviously restarts are always a concern and we gave up one on a restart. But as far as the play, I thought we played pretty well."
