INSIDE THE BENGAL BOX SCORE
  • Diego Rivera (East Meadow, NY/Cairo Durham) put on an offensive showcase, scoring five goals in today's contest, finishing just two shy of the Buffalo State men's soccer program record for goals in a single game. Rivera also added an assist on Aney Djadou's (Buffalo, NY/Amherst) second-half goal.
  • It was a total team effort for the Bengals, as Joseph Desmonie (Valatie, NY/Ichabod Crane), Salvador Gomes (Lisbon, Portugal/Colegio de S. Thomas), Isaac Felder (Oak Park, IL/Oak Park River Forest), Zaccaria Gerosa (New York, NY/U. of Nebraska HS), and Faisal Samim (Baldwinsville, NY/Liverpool) each recorded an assist.
  • In net, Carson Smith (Big Flats, NY/Horseheads) earned a full-game shutout, making three saves to secure the clean sheet.
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Opening SUNYAC play, the Buffalo State Bengals entered their matchup with the SUNY Potsdam Bears ready to make a statement. From the opening whistle, the Bengals dictated the pace, breaking through in the 18th minute with a goal from Rivera. That early strike was only the beginning of a dominant half, as Rivera went on a tear, netting four more goals before halftime and closing the chapter on the Bears in this contest. With the first-half whistle blowing, the Bengals entered the break with a commanding 5-0 lead, courtesy of Rivera's offensive explosion.
  • The second half followed a similar script, with Rivera shifting into playmaker mode. A great pass led to another Bengals goal in the 53rd minute, sealing the win. Behind a strong defensive effort and steady goalkeeping, the Bengals cruised to its first SUNYAC victory of the 2025 season.
FOR THE FOES
  • Cristiano Lozier, Luke Tytler, and Kyan Tiede each registered a shot for the Bears.
  • Goalkeeper James Kelm played the full 90 minutes, making three saves in net.
UP NEXT
The Bengals will continue SUNYAC play on the road, traveling to SUNY Morrisville on Wednesday, October 1st, for a 4:00 P.M. kickoff.
