Box Score Saratoga Springs, N.Y.-- The Skidmore College men's soccer team knocked St. Lawrence University from the unbeaten ranks with a 1-0 Liberty League win, Saturday at Wachenheim Field.
 
Adam Beek scored the game's lone goal at the 59:44 mark to lead the Thoroughbreds (6-1-1, 2-0 Liberty) to the upset win over the Saints (6-1, 0-1).
 
The Skidmore win snaps a 32-game overall regular-season and 17-game Liberty League SLU unbeaten streak. The Saints last lost a Liberty League regular season game in 2009.
 
Each team had a handful of chances in the scoreless first half.  In the 23rd minute, SLU's Sam De Mello had a good look off a restart at the top of the box, but Thoroughbred freshman goalie Eli Kisselbach was there for the save.
 
In the 33rd minute, Skidmore had a chance on an indirect restart inside the box.  Beek had a good look, but his shot was blocked by a Saint defender.   Brian Mitko nearly scored in the 43rd minute off a restart, but SLU keeper Nate Goss-Woliner stopped the shot.
 
The Thoroughbreds got on the board in the second when Brock Bakewell sent a perfect midfield pass to Beek who was flying down the right side. Beek collected the ball, spun his way through a defender, then fired a shot that found the net far side.
 
Skidmore continued to apply pressure for the remainder of the game and the nation's eighth ranked defense contained the SLU attack, until the final seconds. The Saints had the last shot, but Kisselbach made a save on an Alex Laird header with four seconds on the clock.
 
St. Lawrence outshot Skidmore 20-10. Each team had seven corners. Kisselbach finished with 10 saves, seven in the first half. Goss-Woliner had four saves. 
 
Skidmore is at RIT on Sept. 28 for a 4 p.m. match.
