Farmingdale State 4, Yeshiva 4
FARMINGDALE, N.Y. | The Farmingdale State College men's soccer team has now tied all three of its Skyline Conference matches thus far in 2025, as the Rams rallied from a three-goal deficit in the final 23 minutes Monday night to earn a 4-4 draw against visiting Yeshiva University.
YU (1-3-4, 1-1-4 Skyline) opened the scoring 85 seconds into the game against the Rams (1-4-3, 0-0-3), before doubling its advantage seven minutes later on a forced turnover deep in the FSC defensive half.Â
Freshman right back
Jayson Veliz Perez (Riverhead, N.Y.) pulled one goal back for Farmingdale State in the 11th minute of play, as he took a cross-midfield pass from classmate
Carlos Hernandez (Dix Hills, N.Y.) and curled home a 25-yard shot into the left side of the net. The Maccabees responded less than three minutes later, scoring on a quickly taken corner kick to stake claim to a 3-1 lead that they would carry into halftime.
Yeshiva extended its lead to 4-1 in the 62nd minute of play on a breakaway score, before the Rams began to chip away their deficit. Freshman central midfielder
Josue Corea (Wyandanch, N.Y.) forced a turnover at the top of the Macs' penalty area in the 68th minute, and sent a 15-yard strike into the lower-right corner of the net for his first-collegiate goal.
Corea added his second of the night just 1:50 later, with the Rams passing the ball across the outside of the YU penalty area. Hernandez played a central feed to freshman substitute
Chris Melgar (Valley Stream, N.Y.), who found Corea open outside the top-right corner of the 18-yard box. Similar to Veliz Perez's rocket in the opening half, Corea bent in a 22-yard effort to the top-left corner, slicing the Maccabees' edge to 4-3 in the process.
The Rams completed the rally just over nine minutes before the final whistle, when senior attacker
Tyree Baskin Jr. (Freeport, N.Y.) broke free in the left side of the penalty area and fed freshman striker
Vincent Ribando (New Hyde Park, N.Y.) with a pass that the rookie tapped into an open net for the tying, and his first career, goal.
Freshman keeper
Vas Dallas (Garden City South, N.Y.) came on at halftime and was able to keep FSC in the match with his six-save showing over his 45-minute stint.
The Rams continue its homestand against Skyline competition Wednesday afternoon at 4 versus SUNY Old Westbury.
