TEANECK, N.J. -- The Fairleigh Dickinson men's soccer team (3-8-1, 1-1-0 NEC) continues Northeast Conference play on Saturday night at Central Connecticut (5-6-1, 1-1-0 NEC). Kickoff from New Britain, Conn. is slated for 7 p.m. and will be broadcast live on NEC Front Row.

Last Time Out
The Knights won a thrilling NEC contest over Robert Morris in overtime, 3-2, last Sunday at University Stadium. FDU trailed 1-0 nearly four minutes into the match but would eventually pull even at 1-1 in the 54th minute on senior Nico Wright (St. Catherine, Jamaica/Jamaica College)'s team-leading third goal of the season. The Knights then took the lead on senior Godfred Baafi (Hackensack, N.J./Hackensack )'s first goal of the season for a 2-1 advantage in the 70th minute, before the Colonials tied the match at 2-2 with less than three minutes remaining in regulation. But junior Sam Durkot (Centereach, N.Y./Newfield) produced the victory for FDU six minutes into overtime with a free-kick goal from about 25 yards out for his second goal of the season, of his career and of the free kick variety. Freshman Matthew Weigner (Warrington, Pa/Central Bucks South) earned his first career conference victory between the pipes and made two saves.
