Men's Soccer Posts 4-2 Comeback NEAC Home Victory Over Gallaudet University

Fighting Tigers Score Three Second Half Goals to Post Win Over Bison


Cobleskill, N.Y.: The SUNY Cobleskill men's soccer team staged a furious second half comeback effort on Sunday afternoon to top North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) rival Gallaudet University 4-2 to keep their conference tournament play-off hopes alive. The victory improves the Fighting Tigers to 7-6-2 overall on the season including a 5-4-2 mark in conference play while the Bison fall to 5-13-1 overall with a 3-8-1 conference record.

Under extremely windy conditions Cobleskill struck first when freshman midfielder Mame Diba, Manhattan, N. Y., Liberty High School, converted on a thru ball from his former high school teammate freshman midfielder Mame Amar, Manhattan, N. Y., Liberty High School, in the game's 16th minute to give the home team a 1-0 lead.

However the Bison thundered back converting on a penalty kick in the 30th minute of play then scoring in the contest's 34th minute to give the visitors a 2-1 halftime advantage.

In the second half, the Fighting Tigers roared back into the lead as freshman forward Khadim Diba, Manhattan, N.Y., Julia Richmond High School, score a pair of goals in the 47th and 53rd minutes on assists from Mame Amar and freshman forward Emile Vwaza, Manhattan, N.Y., Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis High School, to give them a 3-2 lead from which they never looked back. Freshman forward Thiero Ka, Bronx, N.Y., Banana Kelly High School, provided the final goal as the horn sounded to make it 4-2 in favor of the home team.

The Cobleskill defense held the Bison in check throughout the second half allowing them only two shots in the stanza with junior goalkeeper Dan Burger, North Ellenburg, N.Y., Germantown High School, recording one save to earn the victory in relief of sophomore Tanner Puff, Wallkill, N.Y., Wallkill High School, who suffered an injury late in the first half.

The Fighting Tigers are next scheduled to travel to Teaneck, N.J. on Thursday October 27th to face the Macabees of Yeshiva University in non-league action at University Stadium on the campus of Farleigh Dickenson University beginning at 9:00 p.m.
