The men's soccer team came away with a tough 1-0 victory against Hudson Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (HVIAC) foe Vaughn College on the road in Queens, New York. The Mighty Oaks lone goal came off a penalty kick at the 39-minute mark by junior Zach Reda.

In its second game of the weekend, the men's team faced off against Albany Pharmacy. Both teams were playing in their second game in two days and looked a little winded at the start of the game as play mostly occurred in the midfield. ESF controlled possession for most of the first half as the Mighty Oaks had a few free and corner kick opportunities that they were unable to capitalize on. The Panther's scored the only goal of the game came off a penalty kick in the last minute of the first half.

The Mighty Oaks fought hard in the second half to try and create scoring chances but the Panther's defense held strong as they went on to win 1-0. With the loss, the men's team falls to 3-4 overall, 2-1 in HVIAC play. The team gets a some much-needed rest this week and are back in action against Davis College on Sept. 30 in an HVIAC game.
