FARMINGDALE, NY — This afternoon, the SUNY New Paltz men’s soccer team shutout Farmingdale 1-0.

The Hawks had a late opportunity to put in an insurance goal when junior midfielder Brian Siergiej (Oceanside, NY) was awarded a penalty kick. Farmingdale (0-2) senior goalkeeper Patric Santiago (Baldwin, NY) made a diving save on the Hawk’s penalty attempt to keep the Rams within range

SUNY New Paltz (3-1) junior goalkeeper Masonori Hotta (Hyogo, Japan) recorded two saves and his first shutout of the year.
