YONKERS, N.Y. – The Sarah Lawrence College men's soccer team suffered a 2-0 loss Thursday evening to Purchase College at Tibbetts Brook Park.

IN SHORT
Purchase (3-2-1, 1-0) def. Sarah Lawrence (1-7, 1-1), 2-0.

RECAP
Purchase, coming off back-to-back victories against Green Mountain and Lehman, got on the board in the 28th minute, when Eslam Ellisy ripped a shot from the top of the 18-yard box into the netting to give the Panthers a 1-0 advantage.

The Panthers tacked on one more goal in the second half, when Evan Miller found the back of the net off a rebound in the 70th minute.

The Gryphons took eight shots in the contest, including three attempts on frame. Perhaps the best look at a goal came in the 36th minute, when Colin Berg was able to get behind the Panthers defense and blast a shot, but his attempt sailed wide.

Aaron Ashery, the Skyline Rookie of the Week, got the start in goal, recording four saves. Matteo Romano came in relief in the second half, making a pair of tough stops.

UP NEXT
Sarah Lawrence returns to the pitch on Friday (Sept. 28) for a Skyline contest at Maritime. Game time is set for 7 p.m.
