NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- The Stony Brook men's soccer team fell in the second game of its two-game road trip, 2-0 to Yale on Saturday night from Reese Stadium. The Seawolves drop to 2-4-1 while Yale moves to 4-0-2 on the year.

Quoting head coach Ryan Anatol
"We were not sharp enough at the start of the game and Yale did a good job of making it difficult to play. But the guys battled well and stayed in the game. We had a really good spell during the second half and came close to getting the equalizer. Hopefully we take the positives from the game and build off of them."

Highlights

• Sophomore Jack Valderrabano (New York, N.Y.) took Stony Brook's first shot of the night in the 18th minute but it was blocked.
• Yale got on the board in the 21st minute on a goal by Miguel Yuste from the corner of the box.
• Senior Steven Ghitis (Weston, Fla.) took a shot on goal in the 69th minute but his attempt was saved by Yale keeper Elian Haddock.
• The Seawolves nearly equalized in the 89th minute but senior Gustavo Fernandes (West Babylon, N.Y.) had his shot saved by Haddock.
• Yuste scored his second goal of the night in the 89th minute to seal the victory for Yale.
