THROGGS NECK, NY – The Maritime College men's soccer team began Skyline Conference play by hosting Yeshiva on Wednesday night.  After trailing since the 19^th minute, the Privateers (4-0-1, 0-0-1 Skyline) got an 82^nd-minute goal from Brendan Zink (Louisville, KY) to earn a 1-1 draw against the Maccabees (1-3-3, 1-1-3 Skyline) at Reinhart Field.

Yeshiva jumped in front when Franco Busso sent a perfectly placed through ball to the right side of the box.  Hadar Lavinsky finished to the lower left, giving the Maccabees a 1-0 lead.  Maritime struggled to find scoring chances for much of the game, but was finally able to find an equalizer in the 82^nd minute.  Jack Young (Floral Park, NY) took a deep throw in and fed Zink, who converted a bicycle kick on a half volley into the game-tying score.  It was the second straight deadlock between the teams after playing to a 0-0 result last season.

Zink's tally was his first in a Privateers uniform.  Young, meanwhile, picked up his first point of the season.  Goalkeeper Augusto Lebron (Valley Stream, NY) (4-0-1) was credited with three saves.

Lavinsky notched his fifth goal of the year for Yeshiva.  Ilan Ganem (1-0-3) started in net and made a pair of saves.

On Saturday, Maritime continues its five-game homestand with a 12 p.m. matchup against Mount St. Vincent (4-0-0, 0-0-0 Skyline).  The contest will be followed by the women's game between the Privateers and Dolphins at 3 p.m.
