Boxscore
OLD WESTBURY, N.Y.-The Panthers home opener was
not one to remember. Hosting the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at
Panther Park, the SUNY College at Old Westbury's men's soccer team
fell by the score of 8-0. With the loss, Old Westbury falls to 1-2,
and the win improves the Mariners' record to 2-1.
Justin Leakey led the offense with five shots with two of those
on goal. Fabian Santibanez had three shots and barely missed a goal
multiple times on direct kicks. However, the Panthers displayed a
different mentality after a tough first half. The Green and Ivory's
offense came to life, doubling its output of shots in the second
half, and missed at least one goal by only inches.
As for the Mariners, Rusty Denson and Chris Flanagan scored two
goals, and Lane Gould, Clint Foster, Phillip Dreher, and Greg
Planetta each added a goal a pieced. Substitute Brad Silveira led
the team with three assists. Ryan Hadley chipped in with two, and
Hollis Irvine, Kyle Luetjen, Denson, and Flanagan each contributed
one.
Old Westbury is back in action next Wednesday, September
10th on the road at Skyline Conference opponent, Yeshiva
University. The game time is slated for a 7:00 p.m. start, and is
the start of the Panther's 2008 Skyline Conference campaign.
