Syracuse, N.Y. – The Le Moyne College men's soccer team will host a Northeast-10 Conference game on Wednesday against the Adelphi University Panthers. The match will kick off at 3:30 p.m. on Ted Grant Field.

The Dolphins are coming off a 2-0 loss at Saint Michael's on Thursday and they have three games left, including Saturday's game against the Panthers, to fight their way back into the conference postseason picture.

Le Moyne currently occupies 10th place in the NE10 Men's Soccer Standings with seven points, while the Panthers are tied for 3rd place with 14 points via four wins and two draws against conference opponents.

The Dolphins put together a dominant performance their last time out on Ted Grant Field, claiming a 4-1 non-conference win over Daemen University.

Cameron Stuart (Fulton, N.Y./G. Ray Bodley) tallied one goal and one assist during the victory, increasing his season totals to four goals and four assists. The freshman forward leads the team in both statistical categories, appearing in all 13 games so far in his first collegiate campaign, with nine starts.

Graduate midfielder Alessandro Otte (Suderberg, Germany/Herzog-Ernst-Gymnasium Uelzen/Hochschule Wismar) scored twice in the first half against Daemen, increasing his season goal tally to three.

Graduate forward Max Buesch (Odenthal, Germany/Gymnasium Odenthal/Bethany Lutheran) has started all eight games that he has appeared in so far this season, contributing three goals and one assist.

Graduate midfielder Tom Henne (Hamburg, Germany/Gymnasium Buckhorn) has started 10 games in 2022 for Le Moyne, and he leads the team with nine shots on goal.

Michael Lantry (Syracuse, N.Y./Westhill/Syracuse/DePaul) and Brett Stern (Lockport, N.Y./Newfane/Duquesne) are the only two players on the Le Moyne team to player over 1,000 minutes already this season. Both have made 12 starts, with Lantry serving as one of Le Moyne's center backs and Stern playing as both a right wing back and a right back depending on the team's formation.

Lantry has played the full 90 minutes in nine different matches so far this season.

Senior center back Ben Quigley (Perth, Scotland/Community School of Auchterarder/University of Stirling), like Lantry, has been asked to do more for Le Moyne's back line since the injury to graduate center back Benedict Klimmek (Kiel, Germany/RBZ am Schützenpark).

Quigley has played the full 90 minutes in each of Le Moyne's last six games.

Freshman goalkeeper Matthew Gera (Jamesville, N.Y./Jamesville-DeWitt) will make his third start in goal on Wednesday against the Panthers. The first-year keeper has recorded a combined nine saves during his first two games, including three saves during the 4-1 win at home over Daemen.

The AU Panthers are coming off a 5-1 loss at home to Saint Rose, but prior to that they registered a 3-0 win over New Haven and a 2-1 win at Saint Anselm.

Adelphi junior forward Rodrigo Descalzo Rocca is currently third in the NE10 with nine goals this season, while junior forward Victor Castel has accumulated 18 points in 2022 via seven goals and four assists. Graduate midfielder Matteo Lazzarini has tallied a team-high five assists; graduate midfielder Filippo Peri and freshman forward Patrick Wilson have both recorded two goals and one assist so far this season.

Senior goalkeeper Daniel De La Heras has started 12 games this season for the Panthers, recording 39 saves, five wins and four ties, including four shutouts.

Adelphi and Le Moyne are both 2-2 in the last four meetings between the two men's soccer program.

The Dolphins came away with a 3-1 win over AU in Garden City last season, but in 2019 the Panthers traveled to Syracuse as the #1 ranked team in the nation and claimed a 3-2 win over the Dolphins.

Le Moyne pulled off a 4-3 win on the road over #9 ranked Adelphi in October of 2018, but the year before that Adelphi came away with a 1-0 win over Le Moyne on Ted Grant Field.
