NEW PALTZ, NY — Box Score
Oneonta improves to 10-0 in SUNYAC play after outlasting the Hawks in a 2-0 victory at Alumni Field. In a very tactical match, Oneonta broke the scoreless match with 10:05 remaining in the contest. Senior forward Michael Mahoney blasted a shot from 10 yards out on the left side which soared past New Paltz keeper Patrick Carlucci into up upper corner. Oneonta was on the move again with six minutes to play when Danny Bruh was on a break away and the Hawk defense rushed back to help Carlucci. Defender Ryan Lundgren raced to position and striped Bruh of possession.
New Paltz battled the SUNYAC top seeded Red Dragons the entire 90 minutes but were unable to split the uprights. The Hawks key opportunity came with just under three minutes left when Lucas Natel crossed a ball from the right side. New Paltz just needed a small touch on the ball but were shut down by the Oneonta defense. The Red Dragons netted their insurance goal at 88:51 when Kyle Hoffer received a through ball from Keith Manscuk. Carlucci came out to cut down the angle but Hoffer slide the ball right past Carlucci into the open net.
Carlucci finished with nine saves as the Hawks were out shot 13-1 on goal. New Paltz falls to 3-11-1 and will finish league play Saturday against Oswego State at 1:00pm in their final home game.
