Highlights

VESTAL, N.Y.-- Senior forward Scott Zobre scored 1:35 into the second sudden-death overtime period, leading Binghamton (4-4-3, 2-0-1 AE) Hartford (3-7-0, 1-2-0 AE) in an America East men's soccer game on Wednesday night at the Bearcats Sports Complex. With the win, the Bearcats extend their unbeaten streak to seven matches, having gone 4-0-3 in the process.

Zobre's heroics were set up by junior midfielder Ryan Walter, who finished the night with a goal and an assist. Walter headed the ball in towards the goal and Zobre smashed it into the net.

"Our guys responded great in the overtime," head coach Paul Marco said. "We didn't play well in the second half but we were able to respond after that.

Walter started off the scoring in the 33rd minute when he received a long pass from freshman midfielder Tommy Moon. He then dribbled in 10 yards from the goal and fired the ball into the lower-right corner of the net.

Hartford, however, got even when Patrick Boucher finished off a cross from Liam Williams in the 70th minute. It was his team-high third goal of the season.

Hartford outshot Binghamton 11-10 for the game.

The Bearcats travel to Albany on Saturday for a 2 p.m. game.

NOTES: Walter and Boucher were the America East Players of the Game.
