BOSTON - The Boston University men's soccer team will try to carry over momentum from its first road victory of the season at Stony Brook, as it hosts conference foe Binghamton on Saturday at 1 p.m. The Terriers (4-5-2, 1-1 AE) and Bearcats (6-2-3, 1-0 AE) renew a rivalry that has seen six of nine games head into overtime.

Live streaming video will be available for the game through BU All-Access and the game will also be broadcast on WTBU Radio with Gametracker live stats available online.

BU bounced back from a 3-0 loss to Albany last Saturday with a 1-0 win against the Seawolves with freshman forward Michael Bustamante recording his first career game-winner off a cross from team assist leader Aaron O'Neal. Senior Hrafn Davidsson and junior Joe Cullaro each played a half at the net, recording five saves total for the combined shutout. The Terriers have shut out four opponents this season and have scored at least two goals in four of six home games.

Junior Shaun Taylor leads the squad in both goals and points with six and 13, respectively. With five assists and one score, O'Neal is currently tied for second in points at seven with Bustamante, who has two goals and three assists. Defensively, Davidsson has started all 11 games and has a 1.22 goals against average (GAA) with a .723 save percentage.

Binghamton kicked off conference action on Wednesday, earning an impressive 3-0 victory over Albany after a tough 1-0 loss at then-No. 4 Maryland a week prior. Three Bearcats scored in the game, while goalie Jason Stenta posted his school-record 26th career shutout. Binghamton has wins over Bucknell and a ranked Wisconsin squad along with a draw at Colgate. Junior forward Cameron Keith leads the Bearcats with four goals and nine points. Ranked 17th in the nation with a 0.51 GAA, Stenta has a .898 save percentage along with six shutouts on the year.


 

 

The Terriers lead the all-time series, 3-2-4, and are undefeated at Nickerson Field with a 3-0-1 record. Last year at Binghamton, the Bearcats pulled out a 2-1 victory in overtime when Keith scored his second goal of the contest with 16 seconds remaining in the first overtime. Taylor recorded the Terriers' lone goal. In 2006 at home, Dan Schultz slipped a goal past a diving Stenta for the 1-0 victory.

Next on deck for the Terriers is a two-game road trip with visits to Maine on Wednesday (Oct. 15) and New Hampshire on Saturday (Oct. 18).
