POTSDAM, N.Y. (August 30, 2019) – The SUNY Delhi men's soccer team began the 2019 season with a visit to SUNY Potsdam on Friday.

It marked Delhi's first loss in its previous 12 matches, going 11-0-1 to end the 2018 season. Head coach Brian Mitko's team continues on the road at Utica on Sunday for a 1:00 p.m. matchup.

Senior goalkeeper Corey O'Toole posted four saves on the afternoon. Potsdam swiftly grabbed momentum, snagging two early scores as they took a 2-0 lead into halftime. Jeffrey Shultz tallied the first at the 2:08 mark, followed by Alejandro Callejas finding the goal at 5:09. Though the Broncos settled in to freeze the deficit for the rest of the half, Callejas struck again for the Bears in the second half at 57:43 for what would be the final score.
