STONY BROOK, N.Y. - The Stony Brook men's soccer team cruised to a 4-0 shutout victory over Elon to open conference play on Saturday at LaValle Stadium. Edmond Kaiser earned his first clean sheet of the season and Olsen Aluc, Moses Bakabulindi, Alex Fleury and Amit Magoz all supplied goals in the win.

Magoz opened the scoring in the 16th minute with his second goal in as many games. Jonas Bickus and Caleb Danquah were credited with assists on Magoz's goal that broke the ice. Magoz nearly had another in the 39th minute, but would settle for an assist after Aluc put home a rebound after the initial shot by Magoz was saved.
