HACKETTSTOWN, NJ – After opening the 2024 season with four consecutive shutouts, the Maritime College men's soccer team saw that run come to an end on Friday at Centenary.  The Privateers (3-1-1) also had their three-game winning streak snapped, as the Cyclones (2-3-0) came away with a 1-0 victory at J.E. Reeves Jr. Field.

The first goal conceded by Maritime this season came in the Privateers' 362^nd minute of action.  Rich O'Brien took a feed from Sean Quinones and snuck it past Augusto Lebron (Valley Stream, NY) just 93 seconds into the contest.  It was still 1-0 in the 43^rd minute, when Lebron stopped Ohene Yiadom's attempt.  Lebron (3-1-1) faced just five shots in the game and was credited with one save.

Maritime outshot Centenary 9-5, but only put one of those shots on target.  Alex Arriola's (Bronx, NY) chance was saved in the 73^rd minute, while PJ Kakalos (Merrick, NY) saw his attempt blocked five minutes later.  That would prove to be the Privateers' last scoring chance, as the Cyclones held on for the 1-0 win.

Centenary goalkeeper Kevin Velasquez Mejia (2-3-0) made one save in the winning effort.  O'Brien's goal, meanwhile, was his first of the season.

This was Maritime's final game before the start of conference play.  The Privateers (0-0-0 Skyline) begin their Skyline schedule by welcoming Farmingdale (1-3-1, 0-0-0 Skyline) to Reinhart Field at 7 p.m. on Wednesday.
