The home finale for the Tompkins Cortland Community College men's soccer team Wednesday came down to the closing minutes, but a late goal ruined the day as the Panthers lost to Cayuga Community College, 1-0. Tompkins Cortland's record is now 7-6 overall, 7-5 in Region III, and 2-3 in the Mid-State Athletic Conference. Cayuga improves to 9-4 overall, 9-3 in Region III, and 4-1 in the MSAC.

The game was scoreless till nearly the end thanks to a strong defensive effort, led by Brandon Dunne (North Babylon H.S./North Babylon) and anchored by goalkeeper Sean McDaniel (Dryden H.S./Dryden). Cayuga pressured several times, putting nine shots on goal before finally finding the net. The lone goal came with 3:07 left on the clock after a close range shot rebounded off McDaniel and the Spartans' pressure finally came through with the follow-up goal.

The loss is the second-straight for Tompkins Cortland. The Panthers head to Utica on Sunday looking to get back on track against Mohawk Valley Community College before the regular-season finale Wednesday at SUNY Broome.
