The St. Thomas Aquinas men's soccer team lost a 4-1 game at home to NYIT in the afternoon's ECC contest.  The Spartans goal came off the long throw in of Daniel Davren that was knocked in by Chris Hernandez.  Davren, Hernandez and Edgar Barragan continued to pressure on the NYIT defense but were unable to score off their combined four shot attempts.  Sophomore Nicholas Croce had one save for STAC.

Farah Toure got the Bears off to a quick start scoring the first two goals in the opening fifteen minutes of play.  Cosimo D'Agostino had two saves for NYIT.  The Spartans will return to action on Wednesday as they travel to Mercy.
