Coach Gorman: “Tonight was a classic midweek October game. The weather made it hard for a lot of passes to be connected so it was very tight.

Led by a goal with 16 seconds left in regulation by Kaio DaSilva, the University at Albany men's soccer team won its fifth straight game with a 2-1 victory over Cornell. The Great Danes have now defeated the Big Red in their last three meetings.

At halftime shots were even between the two teams with four apiece, but only one was on goal for UAlbany.

In the second half, Andrew Weiner got the Great Danes the equalizer in the 60th minute. After Sam Philip took a shot that the Cornell goalkeeper made a diving stop on, Weiner was right in front to put the rebound into the net.
