PURCHASE, N.Y. --- (www.OLDWESTBURYPANTHERS.com) SUNY Old Westbury men's soccer concluded the regular season Tuesday evening by claiming a critical 2-1 Skyline Conference road triumph against the Purchase College Panthers (7-10-1, 5-6-0 Skyline) from Purchase College Field in Purchase, New York. With the win, Old Westbury (7-9-2, 5-5-1 Skyline) are now 9-1-3 against Purchase since 2007.
