Last Time Out: After a back and forth match on the pitch of Gordon Field accumulating 110 minutes of play, the Vassar College men's soccer team tied the No. 5 State University of New York at Oneonta Red Dragons, Saturday afternoon. Up 1-0, O-State kicked off the second half, although Vassar came out intense offensively. A direct cross from the right side of the box from senior forward Jose Novas in the 47^th minute to the foot of junior midfielder Toby Stansell, opened the net for Stansell to take a touch and bury the ball to the lower left corner.
