Binghamton men's soccer defeats Vermont 1-0 before sold out crowd at Bearcats Sports Complex

[box score...]

VESTAL, N.Y.-- Junior forward Cameron Keith scored in the 62nd minute, leading Binghamton (8-3-3, 3-1-0 AE) to a 1-0 win over Vermont (6-3-5, 2-1-1) in an America East Conference men's soccer game on Saturday evening before a sold-out crowd at the Bearcats Sports Complex. The game, which was also televised locally by Time Warner Sports, was the Bearcats' third conference win in the past four games.

Keith's fifth goal of the season was set up by senior midfielder Darren McAllister's corner kick midway through the second half. The ball got to senior back Mark Wood who headed the ball towards Keith. From there, Keith drilled the ball past Catamount goalkeeper Roger Scully for his fourth game-winning goal of the season.

Although Vermont turned up the pressure after Keith's goal and wound up outshooting the Bearcats 14-7, junior goalkeeper Jason Stenta needed to make only three saves to extend his school record to 28 career shutouts.

The attendance of 2,534 fans breaks the Bearcats Sports Complex facility record of 2,078 fans who came to the Binghamton-Vermont America East final on Nov. 17, 2008.

Binghamton heads to UMBC on Wednesday for a 3 p.m. game.
