In the 33^rd minute, junior Zef Saljanin (Yorktown Heights/Yorktown) took a thru ball from senior Brian Bartichek (Massapequa Park/Massapequa) before beating the Mustang goalie for the 2-0 lead.
 
The Red Dragons used 23 players in tonight's opener.  Oneonta held a 9-2 advantage in corner kicks.
 
Senior Vincent Pellegrino (Baldwin/Baldwin) only had to make three stops tonight while his counterpart, Rob Larkin, recorded seven saves for Morrisville.
 
Oneonta will be in action again this coming Friday afternoon at Wright National Soccer Campus, as they host the Mayor's Cup.  The Red Dragons will play the second game of the day beginning at 4pm versus St. John Fisher.
