Bedoya opened scoring eight minutes into the game, taking a pass from Pino Tubito and punching the ball into the upper right corner from eight yards out. The freshman added insurance four minutes later when Turbito pushed the ball ahead to him on the right side. Bedoya slipped it past LIU goalkeeper Alex Fatovic (Falls Church, Va.) for the 2-0 lead. LIU got on the board three minutes before the half when sophomore Szymon Hryszcayk (Warsaw, Poland) took a pass just inside the box on the right side. He slipped the ball into traffic in front of the goal, perfectly finding the foot of Vignona for his second score of the year. With FDU holding a 2-1 lead, the second half was marred by extremely physical play. Six yellow and two red cards were handed out in the final 45 minutes. LIU had a number of opportunities with its best shot to tie the contest coming in the waning seconds. Sophomore Ryan Vanderkin’s attempt sailed high as the Knights escaped Brooklyn with the victory. The Blackbirds posted a 12-7 shot advantage, including a 7-3 differential in the second stanza. Fatovic registered one save and Knights netminder Elvir Prasovic turned away six attempts. The Blackbirds return to action on Sunday, Oct. 23 hosting Sacred Heart at 1:00 p.m.
