Fernandes Nets Game Winner as Seawolves Top UAlbany in Overtime

STONY BROOK, N.Y. -- Redshirt junior Gabriel Fernandes (North Babylon, N.Y.) scored the game-winning goal in the 98th minute to propel the Stony Brook men's soccer team past UAlbany, 3-2 on Saturday night from LaValle Stadium. With the win, Stony Brook improves to 4-9-2 (1-4-0 AE) while UAlbany falls to 8-5-1 (3-2-0 AE). 

Quoting head coach Ryan Anatol
"I've said it all season, the guys have continued to pick themselves up even when things haven't been going their way and they did that tonight. They came out and battled from the start. I thought we looked like the aggressors, we wanted to get the three points and I'm just so proud of how the guys battled for the entire night."

Highlights
  • Senior Jarred Dass (Marabella, Trinidad) opened the scoring in the 11th minute when he snuck one past Albany keeper Isac Hjerten. Freshman Sebastian Rojek (Wayne, N.J.) notched the assist.
  • The visitors equalized in the 24th minute on a goal by Austin DaSilva.
  • In the 63rd minute, junior Kori Cupid (Chaguanas, Trinidad) scored off a free kick by sophomore Trausti Birgisson (Kopavogur, Iceland) to put the Seawolves in front.
  • Just three minutes later, the Great Danes leveled it at two on a goal by Kaio DaSilva.
  • Albany had a shot on goal in the 88th minute but freshman keeper Edmond Kaiser (Karlsuhe, Germany) kept the contest scoreless.
  • In overtime, sophomore Jack Valderrabano (New York, N.Y.) nearly won it for the Seawolves but his shot in the 94th minute was saved.
  • In the 98th minute, junior Joey Landicino (Yorktown, N.Y. ) put the ball in front of the net, where Fernandes buried a redirected kick to win it for the Seawolves.
