Binghamton University’s men’s soccer team will host Stony Brook (3-10-4, 0-3-3 AE) tomorrow at the Bearcats Sports Complex for the final regular season home game.

The Sea Wolves sit at last place in the America East, averaging an anemic 0.53 goals per game. Their defense is not much better, allowing 1.65 goals per game.

Still, Stony Brook has played Binghamton hard in the last several years, most notably in the 2005 AE championship game, a 1-1 double overtime tie that the Seawolves won on penalty kicks.

Stony Brook showed a glimpse of its potential early this season when it lost a close 1-0 game to No. 5 Akron University.

“It’s going to be a difficult game for us,” said Binghamton head coach Paul Marco, who knows what a motivated Stony Brook team is capable of. “They’re a soccer playing team. The ball will be on the ground. They’re an enjoyable team to watch. They play the ball around the back. They cause you problems because they try to unbalance you. Their record is not what it should be.”

Binghamton learned not to take its AE matches lightly last Wednesday, when it dropped a 1-0 match to UMBC that could end up making a big difference in playoff positioning.

James Palumbo and Oscar Leis lead Stony Brook with two goals each. One Sea Wolf to watch is freshman Jherrett Maroney, a Binghamton-area native who played club soccer with BC United Fusion, a local team that Bearcat assistant coach John Scott is involved with. Several of the Bearcats’ local players played with BC United Fusion.

“It’s great to see him doing well,” Marco said. “Hopefully he’ll have some fans here to support him.”

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. tomorrow at the Bearcats Sports Complex.
