ALBANY, N.Y.-Thirteenth-ranked Adelphi scored twice late in the second half to upend The College of Saint Rose 2-0 in Northeast-10 Conference action tonight on a cold and damp Sullivan Field at the Plumeri Sports Complex. In the process, the Panthers (11-2-1/9-1-0 NE10) extended their win streak to eight games.
Â
Senior forward James Thirstino twice set up freshman midfielder Paolo Marciano to account for the two strikes. Marciano tapped in a quick feed through the area with 77:26 expired and then added the insurance marker six minutes later when he one-touched a pass from the left side.
