Boxscore
OLD WESTBURY, N.Y.-The SUNY College at Old
Westbury men's soccer team shutout conference rival Farmingdale
State, 2-0 on Saturday afternoon at Panther Park to hand the Rams
their first conference loss of the season. Old Westbury now
sits at 6-7 on the season and 4-3 in league play while Farmingdale
State moves to 9-6-1 overall and 6-1 in conference action.
Senior John Senatore (Ridge, N.Y.) scored the game-winning goal
in the 76th minute to defeat the visiting Rams as he
rebounded a miss by sophomore Justin Leakey (Baldwin, N.Y.) for the
score. It was Leakey's shot at the 83:57 mark, however, that
doubled the lead. He received the ball off a feed from junior Conor McKeon (Rockville Centre, N.Y.) on a breakaway and fired the ball
into the back of the net, catching the Rams' goalkeeper, Patrick
Gubbins, off his line to give the Panthers a commanding two goal
lead. Old Westbury defended well for the rest of the match to
come away with the 2-0 victory.

the second half to notch his second shutout this season.
