FIGHTING TIGER MENS SOCCER FALLS IN NAC PLAY 1-0 TO UMPI

Presque Isle, Maine: The SUNY Cobleskill men’s soccer team found themselves out battled by a 1-0 margin by the host Owls of University of Maine at Presque Isle (UMPI) on Saturday afternoon in a hard-fought North Atlantic Conference (NAC) play. With the loss the Fighting Tigers fall to 0-7-1 overall including a 0-2 record in NAC action while the Owls move to 2-3-2 overall including a 2-1 conference record.  

On a windswept field that saw winds in access of 25-miles-per-hour whipping across the playing field neither team was successful penetrating the oppositions defense until the 67th minute of play when UMPI first-year midfielder Caelan Billings, Sullivan, Maine, Sumner Memorial High School, found the back of the net to give the home team a lead they would never relinquish.  

The Fighting Tigers will close out the road trip on Sunday afternoon when they travel to Bangor, Maine for a NAC meeting with the Eagles of Husson University with kick-off slated for 12:00 p.m.
