Seawolves Fall to Penn State

STONY BROOK, N.Y. -- The Stony Brook men's soccer team was unable to get past a late surge by Big Ten-foe Penn State, dropping their home opener, 4-1 on Monday night from LaValle Stadium.

Quoting Head Coach Ryan Anatol
"I thought our guys responded well in the second half. We made a couple adjustments to deal with their pressure and allow us to have a little more time on the ball ... I think it's a good group. We know it's early in the year, we're still trying to figure out exactly how we want to play, what our best lineup is and individually, some performances. We're still trying to figure some things out, these games all cause problems and allow us to evaluate ourselves, but we're also able to test how we do with the things that we want to do."

Highlights
  • Penn State applied pressure early on in the contest, taking six corner kicks in the first seven minutes of action.
  • Stony Brook got its first shot of the night off in the 20th minute, when sophomore Jack Valderrabano (Queens, N.Y.) missed wide right.
  • Freshman goalkeeper Edmond Kaiser (Karlsruhe, Germany) tallied four saves in the first 24 minutes of action.
  • The visitors opened the scoring in the 32nd minute on a goal by Christian Sload.
  • Stony Brook was able to equalize early in the second half, when senior Gustavo Fernandes (North Babylon, N.Y.) found classmate Jarred Dass (Marabella, Trinidad) with a long pass upfield. Dass beat Penn State goalkeeper Kris Shakes to tie the contest at one.
  • Penn State answered with a goal just four minutes after the equalizer, when Andrew Privett found Alex Stevenson to give the Nittany Lions a one-goal advantage.
  • The visitors would tack on two more goals, both by Aaron Molloy.
Notes and Stats
  • Freshman defender Sebastian Rojek (Wayne, N.J.) made his first career start in the contest.
  • Sophomore striker Twon Grannum (Saint Joseph, Trinidad) made his collegiate debut.
  • Kaiser picked up eight saves in the defeat.
