STONY BROOK, N.Y. -- Goals by freshman Birkir Gudmundsson (Reykjavik, Iceland) and senior Jarred Dass (Marabella, Trinidad) led the way as the Stony Brook men's soccer team topped Siena, 2-1, on Friday night from LaValle Stadium. The Seawolves move to 1-3-1 on the year while Siena drops to 1-4-0.

Quoting head coach Ryan Anatol
"We controlled big parts of the game with possession and opportunities, but the challenges were a part where we haven't been doing as well. We challenged the guys to come out today and win that part of the game and, especially against a team that was pretty good on restarts, I thought we did a pretty good job in that area tonight."

Highlights

• Senior Mark Irvine (Southampton, England) took the only shot on goal of the first half in the seventh minute.
• The Seawolves got on the board first on Gudmundsson's goal in the 46th minute. The freshman found the top left on the net to give Stony Brook the lead.
• Siena equalized just minutes later on a penalty kick goal by Conor McGlynn.
• The Saints had another shot on goal minutes later, but it was saved by freshman Edmond Kaiser (Karlsruhe, Germany) in the 62nd minute.
• In the 69th minute, Dass finished a cross from Irvine with a header to regain the lead.
• Gudmundsson nearly extended the lead a few minutes later but his second shot on goal of the night was saved by Greg Monroe.
• Samuel Schwarz took the Saints' last shot on goal in the 81st minute but Kaiser made the stop to secure the victory.

Stats and Notes

• The goal was the first of Gudmundsson's career.
• Dass' goal was his team-high third of the season.
• Kaiser picked up his first collegiate victory in the win.
