Short Story: The University at Albany men's soccer team fell in its final home game of the regular season, 2-0 to Vermont.  

Coach Trevor Gorman: "Today was a tough one but credit to Vermont who is one of the top teams in the conference. They controlled the key moments and capitalized on two set pieces we'd like to have back. We look forward now to Hartford and trying to get a conference win on the road."
