WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

  • The Hawks and Wildcats kicked off the game under some light rain as both teams looked to get ahead before conditions worsened.

  • Poly generated the first attack of the game, working their way into Hartwick's final third before being called for offsides.

  • Hartwick formulated an attack of their own, but an offsides call slowed them down.

  • Coach Scott's squad continued to work hard, nearing a goal almost every time they pushed down the field as they continued to pressure the Wildcats.

  • The Hawks would put it all together in the 24th minute as Hunter Bulich (Catskill, N.Y.) was able to spot Andres Ordonez Acosta (Estado de Mexico, Mexico) through traffic and Ordonez Acosta was able to put it past the outstretched Poly keeper for the first goal of the game.

  • Poly pushed down the field, creating a chance but the attack ended in a Gesamondo save in the 28th minute.

  • Hartwick would concede a goal in the 48th minute to bring the game to a tie.

  • The Hawks worked their way into space well but struggled to create forward progress at times, posting six shots compared to Poly's two as time began to dwindle quickly.

  • Hartwick posted two corners in the 84th minute but were turned away by the Poly defense.

  • Poly earned a penalty kick and converted in the 87th minute to take a late lead.

  • The Hawks would make a late push in the final seconds but could not put an end product together.

 

COMMENTS FROM HEAD COACH JOHN SCOTT

"I felt we deserved to be in front at half time from the run of play. Important moments in the game at both ends of the field have resulted in us losing 2-1. The team put a lot into this game, and I know they will respond with the right attitude to go again for Saturday."

 

UP NEXT FOR THE HAWKS

The Hawks will return to Elmore Field, matching up with new Empire 8 conference member SUNY Brockport at 2 PM on Saturday, September 28th.
