Alfred State opened up scoring at the 61-minute mark going up 1-0. The Mighty Oaks played most of the second half a man down because of foul trouble but managed to find the back of the net at the 86-minute mark when sophomore Geoff Golick nailed in a header off a beautiful pass by senior Zack Reda to tie up the game 1-1. Both team were unable to score in the two overtime sessions resulting in a 1-1 draw. The men's team is now 6-6-1 overall and faces Albany College of Pharmacy in the first game of the HVIAC conference tournament Oct. 24. The match against the tournament hosts is a must-win for the Mighty Oaks as they fight to earn an invitation to the USCAA soccer national championships.
