MEN'S SOCCER 

Gabor's PK sends Jays to Semi-finals

Jays down Maritime in thrilling Quarterfinal battle 1-0 in 2OT

Throgs Neck, NY -  There have been a lot of firsts for the NYU-Poly men's soccer team this year, but none so far means as much as the Jays first-ever postseason playoff victory. In a game that looked certain to go to penalty kicks, it was, in fact, a PK that decided it, as sophomore captain Joe Gabor (Warwick, NY / Warwick HS) converted the opportunity in the 105th minute to give Poly the 1-0 double-overtime, golden goal win.

Poly will now play St. Joseph's (LI) on Friday in the Skyline Conference Semi-finals. The other matchup will pit Old Westbury at Farmingdale.
