Men's soccer player Michael Rankin-Byrne notched the game-tying goal
at Stetson and almost notched the game-winner and has earned Sprint Spartan
of the Week honors. Rankin-Byrne, a freshman from Kingston, Ontario,
had a strong game at Stetson last weekend. With Upstate trailing 1-0, he
scored in the 89th minute to tie the game and send it into overtime. In
overtime, he narrowly missed the game-winning goal when Stetson's keeper
made a leaping save.
Jonathan Kowalski ('08)
Junior
Jonathan Kowalski (Glens Falls) scored the game’s lone goal at the
56:02 mark after sophomore Jeff Christian (Middletown) beat the
defender along the baseline and sent a pass through the box to set up
Kowalski for his fourth goal of the season and eventual game-winner.
Jon Kowalski (2008 GF graduate), an Oneonta
State junior, was recently invited to tour Brazil later this month with the
Men's USA D-3 Soccer Team. (Spring 2011)
