NEW YORK | The week ahead in Farmingdale State College athletics sees the start of the men's and women's basketball seasons, the men's soccer team continuing play in the Skyline Conference Championship, and the women's volleyball program rounding out regular-season play in preparation for its conference tournament.
Men's Soccer (6-8-4)
The Rams received late-match heroics Wednesday night in a must-win regular-season finale against Maritime College, as freshman attacker
Josue Granados's (Brentwood, N.Y.) score with 45.1 seconds left propelled his team to a 2-1 victory and a berth in the Skyline Conference Championship. Fifth-seeded FSC then came back from an early 2-0 deficit to capture a 3-2, overtime triumph in first-round play at defending-champion Manhattanville University. Senior winger
Tyree Baskin Jr. (Freeport, N.Y.) headed home the golden goal in the 97th minute of action off a left-side cross from freshman midfielder
Josue Corea (Wyandanch, N.Y.).
Granados was selected Friday as the Skyline Conference's Rookie of the Year, and was joined on the
All-Skyline second team by classmate and right fullback
Jayson Veliz Perez (Riverhead, N.Y).
Next up for Farmingdale State in the conference championship is Wednesday night's 7:30 p.m. semifinal at top-seeded and undefeated University of Mount Saint Vincent (
