André Puente Produces Second-Half Goal, but Fairfield Holds Off Sharks

FAIRFIELD, Conn. — André Puente scored on a header off a free kick from Robert Winkler in the second half.

However, the LIU men's soccer team dug itself too deep a hole and fell to host Fairfield, 3-1, at Lessing Field on Wednesday night.

Fairfield had received goals from Tyler Reavis in the 31st minute and Thomas Drillen in the 35th minute to build a 2-0 lead.

Puente's goal came in the 66th minute and LIU continued to buzz. But the Stags sealed their victory with a goal on a counterattack in the 88th minute.

The Sharks (3-3) next host Columbia on Saturday at 4 p.m. at LIU Soccer Park.
