PANTHERS FACE FARMINGDALE
STATE IN SKYLINE CONFERENCE SEMIFINAL FRIDAY
NOVEMBER 5, 2009
OLD WESTBURY, NY (www.oldwestburypanthers.com) - The SUNY College at
Old Westbury men's soccer team will battle the Farmingdale State
Rams for the rights to advance to the Skyline Conference
Championship game at 2 p.m. on Friday at Rams Field in Farmingdale,
New York.
The Panthers, the No. 3 seed in the tournament, will face the
second-seeded Rams in the semifinals, with the winner heading to
the championship game Sunday against either St. Joseph's-L.I. or
NYU-Poly.
Old Westbury, which advances to the semifinals for the third
consecutive season, defeated Bard for the second straight season in
the quarterfinals. Sophomore German Parodis (Mar del Plata,
Argentina) scored the game-winner against Bard in the
64th minute off an assist from freshman Brian Hanley
(East Islip, NY). Junior keeper Darian Bryan (Elmont, NY) and
the defense put on a show Wednesday, allowing just one shot on
goal.
Senior Fabian Santibanez (Oyster Bay, NY) will lead Old
Westbury's offensive charge into Farmingdale. The reigning
Skyline Conference Player of the Year tallied 11 goals, 11 assists
and 33 points over 18 game in 2009. Farmingdale State is
paced on offensively by junior Ryan Paul (Sayville, NY), who
registered 14 goals and 28 points in 15 games this season.
The Panthers own a slight edge over the past two seasons,
besting Farmingdale State, 2-1-0, including a win, 2-1 in overtime
earlier this season at Rams Field. In that contest, freshman Donnie
Alerte (Brooklyn, NY) scored the game-winner to give Old Westbury
the win. The Panthers and Rams met last season in the semifinals of
the Skyline Conference Tournament, with Farmingdale State coming
away victorious, 2-0, in double overtime in 2006.
