Men's Soccer Holds Off Delaware To Forge 2-2 Tie
Oct. 14, 2001
Stony Brook, NY - Delaware's (5-7-1, 2-2-1) Mike Honeysett scored twice in the final 27 minutes of regulation as the Blue Hens erased a 2-0 deficit and escaped Stony Brook (4-4-2, 1-3-1) with a 2-2 tie Sunday afternoon at University Field in America East men's soccer action. It marked the first-ever meeting between the two schools. Following a scoreless first half, Stony Brook's Jaime Serna took a pass from Ivan Perez 35 yards out, dribbled past charging Delaware goalkeeper Kyle Haynes and put it into the net. Less than 10 minutes later, Perez found Kevin Cameron, who dribbled in from the left side and put the ball past Haynes as the Seawolves took a 2-0 lead. Honeysett and the Blue Hens then went to work. The junior forward took a pass from Dan Keane on the left side and lofted it into the far right corner of the net at the 63:50 mark. With just 4:09 to play the Blue Hens were awarded a free kick on a Stony Brook foul and capitalized. Honeysett drilled the ball into the net from the top of the penalty box to tie the game at 2-2 and force overtime. The Blue Hens dominated the overtime stanza, outshooting the Seawolves 8-4 and earning six corner kicks, but could not put the ball in the net. Stony Brook remained winless for the fifth time in six games. Dan Ferrin made seven stops for the Seawolves and Kyle Haynes made four saves for Delaware. The Seawolves travel to Northeastern for a 6:00 p.m. America East match-up Friday night. |
