Knights Men's Soccer Ties with the NYIT Bears on Senior Day

Flushing, N.Y. (October 27, 2012) – Looking for three points to make it to the East Coast Conference playoffs on Senior Day, the Knights men's soccer team tied 1-1 with the Bears to go to 7-6-4 (3-3-3 in ECC play) on the year.

It was a scoreless affair through 88 minutes of the contest. With 88:29 gone by in the match, senior and Knights captain Danny Stoker (#23) netted the first goal of the game, his 11th goal of the year. Yet, the day was not over yet as NYIT's Dominic Iovino scored the gut-wrenching game-tying goal with just 19 seconds left in the game.

This led to 2 overtime periods where NYIT had three shots and were denied by Knights keeper Sean Geoghan twice in the second overtime. The Knights could not muster any shots during the extra time.

Prior to the game, the Knights honored seniors Danny Stoker and Grant Edick during the Senior Day festivities.
