BOX SCORE

NEW PALTZ, N.Y. – Senior Marc Zeyak scored 46 seconds into the second overtime period, lifting Union College (6-0-0) to a 2-1 double-overtime victory over the State University of New York at New Paltz men's soccer team (3-4-0) on Saturday afternoon in the Hawks' 2011 home opener at Alumni Field.

Sophomore Nick Vozzella paced the Dutchmen with a goal and an assist. His pass set up the contest's game-winning score.

New Paltz played a man down for the final 20 minutes of the second half after a red card was issued. Despite outshooting the Dutchmen, 14-10, in regulation, Union held a 5-2 edge in shots in the two overtime periods.

New Paltz's freshman midfielder Stephen Browne scored the game's first goal at 42:40, playing a ball off of a defender and lofting a shot over goalkeeper senior Adam Margulies. With the clock winding down in the second half, Vozzella cashed in on pass from senior Kevin Benn, firing home a shot from the left side of the box.

Neither team put a shot on frame in the first overtime period, but Vozzella set up Zeyak with a centering pass in the first minute of the second overtime stanza, and Zeyak uncorked a shot that hit the crossbar and bounced into the goal, keeping Union's record untarnished on the season.

Senior Mike Szczesniak earned the win in net for the Dutchmen, halting one shot in 33:54 scoreless minutes of spot duty. Starter Margulies did not earn a decision, making three saves and allowing one goal in 66:52 of work. New Paltz sophomore goalkeeper Conor Power suffered the loss, turning aside two shots and yielding two scores.

On the game, New Paltz outshot Union, 16-15, and the Dutchmen took seven corner kicks to the Hawks' three.

Union is back in action on Tuesday, September 20, at 7 p.m., taking on Sage College in a home match at College park.
