Jackson Retzer's goal in the 85th minute was his fifth of the season and enabled Fredonia State men's soccer to force up and try for the tie Saturday at home vs. New Paltz. The comeback fell short as the Hawks hung on for a 2-1 SUNYAC win at University Stadium.

The Blue Devils (4-6-2 overall, 1-3-0 SUNYAC) took 18 shots, six by Conrad Rathbun. Three of Rathbun's shots were on on goal and among the six saves by New Paltz goalkeeper Marc DePasquale.
