Cobleskill, NY – The SUNY Cobleskill men's soccer team secured a thrilling 2-1 home victory over Keystone College on Saturday afternoon at the Fighting Tiger Soccer/Lacrosse Complex, capped off by a late game-winner from freshman Gavin McEnroe (Burlington Flats, NY/Edmeston).

The Fighting Tigers controlled the pace throughout, holding a commanding 20-4 advantage in total shots, including an 11-2 edge on goal, while also generating 12 corner kicks compared to Keystone's four.

Keystone struck first, capitalizing on a through ball to take an early 1-0 lead. Cobleskill responded quickly, however, when senior forward Spencer Reisman (Youngstown, NY/Lewiston Porter) delivered an equalizer on a free kick from 30 yards out, bending the ball around the keeper into the upper right corner to level the match at 1-1 heading into halftime.

Cobleskill continued to push in the second half, with chances from Reisman, Garrett Aikins, (Morris, NY) and defender Andrew Rimes all denied during a flurry of shots early in the half. The breakthrough came in the 85th minute when Reisman served a pinpoint cross into the box, where McEnroe rose up and buried a header to the far post for his team-leading third goal of the season, sealing the 2-1 victory.

Reisman led the attack with a goal, an assist, and a season-high nine shots, while McEnroe tallied the decisive strike. Junior forward Connor Fancher (Worcester, NY) added four shots, three on target, and Rimes contributed two more efforts on frame. Junior goalkeeper Joe Wille (Gilboa, NY) anchored the defense with a steady performance and one save.
