THROGGS NECK, N.Y. – The Maritime Men's Soccer team lost a tightly contested match to Sage 1-0 on Friday evening on Reinhart Field. The goal was scored on a penalty kick attempt in the 67th minute.

The Privateers totaled six shots, including five in the second half, but the team was unable to break through to tie the game.

The Maritime defense was led by senior Brian McKeever (Wallkill, N.Y./Wallkill) and freshman Jack Feehan (Massapequa, N.Y./Farmingdale). In addition to his defense, Feehan created multiple scoring chances from his long-distance throw-ins.

Maritime's best chance to score came on in the first half, during the sixth minute, when Horgan picked up a loose ball in the box and shot to his left but his shot was saved.
