The Hudson Valley Community College men's soccer program dropped a tough home match 3-1 against No. 9 ranked Mohawk Valley on Saturday afternoon in Troy, NY. 

Both programs played a tough first half as they entered the break with a scoreless tie. Less than 10 minutes into the second half, the Hawks broke open the scoreless tie with a score. The Vikings regrouped and continued to fight as Abbas Ghulam sent a laser to the top shelf of the net, tying the game a 1-1 with just about 25 minutes left in the game. 

Mohawk Valley managed to pull away from the Vikings with back-to-back goals at the 75-minute and 81-minute marks and secured the win.

The men's soccer team returns to the pitch on Wednesday, October 12 when they travel to take on SUNY Adirondack at the Golden Goal Sports Complex. The match is set to begin at 4 p.m.
