WATERBURY, Conn. – Sophomore Stefan Tomasevic (London, England) headed in a corner kick off the foot of senior Francisco Sastre (Sao Paolo, Brazil) in the 73^rd minute to provide the difference as the Post men's soccer team defeated Philadelphia at LaMoy Field on Saturday afternoon.

"I'm very excited for guys because we played three extremely difficult matches against NE-10 opponents to start the year and that help prepare us for this game. We grew as a team and matured after dealing with some tough conditions," said head coach Ted Haley.
 
Graduate student Anthony Asante (Bronx, N.Y.) was taken down trying to take a shot in the box in the 29^th minute and was awarded a penalty kick. He beat the Ram's keeper Ben Sauer on the penalty to put the Eagles ahead 1-0. Post would take the advantage into the half.
 
Philadelphia (2-1-1, 0-1 CACC) tied the game in the 56^th minute on a penalty kick of their own after an Eagles foul.
