Utica, NY – The Utica College men's soccer team lost to visiting Morrisville State 2-0 in non-conference action on the turf at Charles A. Gaetano Stadium Tuesday night.  The Pioneers fell into an early 1-0 hole in the first seven minutes of the contest and could not overcome the deficit, as the visiting Mustangs added an insurance tally late in the contest to earn the victory.

Cheron Barrie assisted on McKoy's first goal of the game, while Julian Rodriguez added the helper on the second goal of the game. 

Utica goalie Matthew Milograno (Marcy, NY/Whitesboro) stopped five shots in the loss for the Pioneers, while Rob Larkin added six saves in between the pipes for Morrisville.
