TEANECK, N.J. -- The Fairleigh Dickinson men's soccer team (1-2-0) looks to move to .500 when it travels to Long Island on Monday to match up with Stony Brook (1-2-0) for a 7 p.m. contest at Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium in Stony Brook, N.Y.

Last Time Out
The Knights rallied from a two-goal deficit in the second half on Friday night to knock off Princeton, 3-2, in double overtime in the 2014 home opener at University Stadium. Not only did the victory give FDU its first of the season, but it was the 300th career victory for head coach Seth Roland. Junior Sam Durkot (Centereach, N.Y./Newfield)'s first career goal at the beginning of the 65th off his free kick sliced the deficit in half, before senior Nico Wright (St. Catherine, Jamaica/Jamaica College) tied the match 12 minutes later with a penalty kick for his second goal of the season. And just two minutes into the start of double overtime, freshman Casey Abelein (Port Jefferson, N.Y./Earl L. Vandermeulen) scored the game-winning goal, the first of his career, off a rebound from sophomore Enver Caymaz (Pompton Lakes, N.J./Pompton Lakes)'s free kick to cap the thrilling comeback.
