Epps, Riley Score in Win Over Stony Brook

The Army West Point men's soccer team used a pair of first-half goals to come away with a 2-0 nonconference victory over Stony Brook on Tuesday evening at Clinton Field. Army improves to 7-5-1 after the win, while Stony Brook drops to 7-5-2. Freshman Rex Epps scored his team-leading eighth goal of the season and now ranks tied for first in the Patriot League in the category. He found the back of the net in the third minute to put the Black Knights on the board early before junior Okheem Riley netted a goal in the 43rd minute to add to the host's advantage. Freshman keeper Justin Stoll stopped a season-high nine shots to preserve his fourth shutout of the year. Tuesday marked the first-ever meeting between Army and Stony Brook. Epps' eighth goal of the year is the most for an Army player in a single season since Thomas Obaseki (USMA '01) scored nine goals during the 1998 season. Epps' strike came 2:59 into the match and marks Army's quickest goal to begin a game this season. Epps ranks tied for first in the Patriot League with eight goals and leads the conference with four game-winning tallies. Read More
